Best Glue for Korber kits

I have a 5 stall HO scale Korber roundhouse that I am building (actually rebuilding), and I'm wondering what is the best glue to use?
 
I understand these are resin kits, and some styrene glues do not work. I am also not a big fan of AC glues.
 
I did recently find a good buy on Devcon epoxies from ACE hardware, and I figured these could be used for final assembly?
 

2mm Fine Scale Yard Tractor...

A little something I found on Facebook through the NMRA-X page...

2mm finescale…

At least you don't have to worry about dirty track?

Trackplanning --> Hand Laying : Geometry headspace?

Dear MRHers,

I was musing over some of the recent threads RE Handlaying VS RTR trackwork options,
and that one of the significant benefits of handlaying turnouts was

"the modeller is not limited to fixed, whole-number, or only the frog-angles-commercially-available geometry".

Now, I'm not saying that this isn't true from a raw "what One can build" standpoint,,
but it did send me off down a kinda "chicken and egg" hole, IE:

An attempt to show some video

Attached is a possibly more useful layout diagram.  The red line indicates the trip the video effort follows starting in the laundry room.  But the videos are trapped currently in the Tablet and transfer is not yet complete.  I thought I should send this type of diagram out since I'll be using it as I compose other videos.  Sorry for the shaking and blurring.  I'll get better with practice...

Weekly Photos Fun - Cameras Used?

What is the best way to weather white-painted windows?

I am just completing the building of an N scale freight depot (Pola N209). I painted the windows white and they look pristine, like they've just come out of the factory. What is the best way to tone them down so that they look their age?

I should add that the windows are installed (but could be removed). They are not (yet?) glazed.

Villefranche Lauragais Station.

Hello everyone, to change it a bit here is a new video today of some trains (real ones this time). It is a station in the south of France 25 km from my home.

What's on your workbench - May 2020

I'll get this rolling with a close up photo of a locomotive I'm doing a First Look on.... until I took a photo, I hadn't even noticed the 74V sign.

Help with re-motoring a brass Heisler.

I need some help with advice and locating a DCC electric motor. I acquired a brass heisler and want to set it up to run DCC on my layout. I just do not know where to find a motor or what motor to use. If anyone has done such conversion I would be very interested in what you did. Thanks for all help.
