Have you ever wondered what your model railway looked like in the real world

[cypherman]

Hi all,

One day I was messing about with one of my paint programs and was musing about how model railways would look if they were transfered to the real world. So I thought I would try and see.

These pictures are from a 16.5 mm garden railway belonging to a friend of mine.

So I thought I would show them here and see what you think.

Nice idea. Have you taken pictures of the garden railway and added background scenes? Some of your pictures look very realistic, in particular Pen Druid Jct. and the green C.V.T. train. Thanks for sharing!

Hi all,

Yes I took the pictures,And they are taken from my friends garden railway. . I then collaged and Photoshopped all the scenery from photos I either took or got online.

I sometimes set up temporary photos scenes with railway models (vehicles and structures) and combine the final picture with a photo background. Here is a typical example with some of my German equipment:
