This is one end of an "Inglenook"-type switching layout. The entire background is digital photos. The far background is made up some photos sent to me of Danbury, Conn. pasted, mirrored, and enlarged/reduced from scans of the original prints + a couple of buildings in Inverness. The warehouses were a series of photos taken with a really cheap digital camera in a local industrial estate here in Northern Scotland, printed out, then cut and pasted and stuck onto a sheet of hardboard (masonite?) Just make sure the shadows all fall the same way!!! The hardboard was then cut along the roof-line and a black marker pen run along the edge. The fence along the front disguises a strip of plexiglas to keep wandering "pokey-fingers" away when it was exhibited. Hope it helps.
