What is the best kind of glue to use on railroad bridge kits.
For plastic I used Tenax or similar plastic specific modeling glue. You want something that chemically reacts with the plastic to make a good bond. I don’t recommend CA glue (super glue) as it creates a more brittle bond.
For wood I just switched and use a wood glue a bought at lowes and was recommended here. I don’t remember the brand but it comes in three different types and I use the one that is fairly quick setting.
I’ve built a few plastic bridge kits and have also scratch built a couple out of styrene. In both cases I found that Tenax or Plastruct welding-type glues do a very good job of making strong joints. I have no experience with wood kits so I’ll defer to those that have.

I just finished putting together the Micro-Engineering 210’ Tall Viaduct and I used Model Master liquid cement for plastic models #8872. I’ve used it for every plastic kit I’ve put together. Works great! I bought mine at Wal Mart.

Sounds like Titebond. Based on the recommendation here, I recently tried it and like it.
