If ever there was a cue for the “Father Ted” joke this is it. I always thought it was called “forced” perspective though.

They've also run into the problem when you use set-track and single portal tunnels - the loading gauge (gap?) between the two tracks is completely non-prototypical. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading the caption on Flickr, that really does seem to be the case, a late addition of the bridge using a standard design. 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizz Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 HO scale Plattling Hbf and yard. I like the new S&C they've laid in the yard. Looks like the flocking had a bad reaction to the glue in the yard, but not too bad at the bottom end though. The lighting is quite good. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

montyburns56 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I think that there's something train set-esque about this picture with the mix of steam and diesel, old and new infrastructure including a turntable, plus the viaduct, river & bridge in the background.
