I'm sorry this foam ballast never looks good.  This is a branchline close to where I live in Central Jutland. and before somebopdy points it out, I'm not the wrong side of the fence, because there is no fence. Most rural lines over here are unfenced.- This is actually taken from a public footpath which at some points is less then 10 feet fra the track and unfenced. Two trains an hour in each direction :-)

A quirk of fate with an unnoticed setting on my camera.

 

A shorty HYA as 6M38 reverses into the unloading sidings at Arcow quarry.

Looks a bit like tilt shift - there are some great photos if you Google “tilt shift train”, it really does make things look like models! Neither are my photos, but it’s a great illusion!

I actually can’t decide if this one really is a model or not:

They generally don’t seem in the spirit of this thread though, as they’re actually trying to look like models!

Those Dapol light bars are far too bright too. The passengers will get a tan!
