You need to add people to make it look more realistic.

Not bad! The weathering on your locos looks very convincing and your track ballasting is excellent!

GASP!!

Hi,
Where did you find that lot of Marx/Lionel trains??

Gus (LC&P).

 

[Herc Driver]

Wow! You did a great job with that fence in the background - very realistic.

 

[Russ Bellinis]

How did you get that Marx/Lionel to run on 2 rail dc?

 

[MilesWestern]

Where's the edge of this layout? Have you planned access hatches yet? Also, are you using forced perspective with the small scale trailer park in the backround? Boy this scene id VERY deep!

Great job on the coupler details and the wipers!! That's not TrueTrack, or is it?? :thumb:

 

[Nazgul]

That is one B E A U T I F U L layout ya got there........but there's something not quite right with it...but I can't put my finger on it!

 

[Marxed]

its pretty realistic? isn't it :thumb:

i custom build the internals to replicate a HO scale 2 rail DC, i also did aot of work to make the track look real

GASP!!

yep!

it's pretty hard to get any less realistic than that, people might just subtract? sign1

You must spend a bundle on Woodland Scenics trees and ground foam.

Looks like a staging yard is hidden by the overpass in the far distance of the first shot, I love the backdrop, but how much did you spend on paint?

Also In the distance to the right, that house looks like it's from model power! I think they call it Grandma Moses' House...

In the second photo, did you manage to scratchbuild ALL those buildings yourself? WHEW!

 

[Biased turkey]

How did you scratchbuilt the winshield wiper on the locomotive ?

 

[Marxed]

of course it's all scratch built with plenty of time and $$$ spent, i however don't have a log of that stuff sign1

 

[Harpo]

I was going to say, gosh, is it real or not...but the accumate couplers were a dead giveaway. Obviously z gauge on HO.

don't you hate it when you take an awesome picture to only realize you'd left something in the background where it shouldn't be?
