Placing roads & tunnels in a layout

Wow, this took the better part of a day to figure out how to place roads correctly in the game. I tried searching Youtube videos on the topic but could really only find finished layouts of the game.

Kinda figured out how to place roads but now bridges are stumping me now. In Trainz if you want to place a bridge you just choose one, and stretch it along the route, after wards you can link roads right up to them. That doesnt seem to be the case with Railworks though. Are there any videos that clearly show how this works?

One more thing, are there RR Tunnels I can download that will allow me to add a tunnel in my layout without having to add three different pieces per tunnel. I mean the tunnel itself, then the opening & then the black patch thing that I havnt figured out how to manipulate correctly.

Thanks.

No, you have only that, though on some tunnels they come with tunnel exits attached. I think ScaleRail has that.
