I came across a report in the Italian Tuttto Treno magazine on a huge American themed FreMo-E module event held in late 2015.  This is a video of just one module:

Basic Advice Needed on Assembling Plastic Structure Kits

I have a large number of plastic structure kits that I have been collecting since the 80's that I finally have a layout to place them on. I'd appreciate any general, basic advice members have, particularly in terms of adhesives used. I have a love-hate relationship with various forms of super glue. Aside from getting it on my fingers (don't ask me how because I don't know), I have often noticed a white residue that is sometimes present and sometimes not. What adhesives do you use for various purposes?

Almost buried siding/spur

Gents,
I've been searching my bookmarks for a link to something I found online a while back that showed how to make a spur running through something like a construction materials yard (iirc) and the rails are almost buried right up to the top of the rails. Very realistic, There was a structure in the scene too. 
I might have seen it here, but if so I haven't found the magic search term. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, much obliged for the link again.
Thanks,
Michael Lee Smith
