pH Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Norfolk Southern have used this location before for official photos, and I think the results are often 'model-like'. As I've commented on other posts in this topic, I think a major factor in a picture appearing like a model is a lack of surrounding detail, and that's the case here. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=538812&nseq=4 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picnic spot for spotters. Nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hP6badXvoSI Looks like an interesting place to spend a couple of hours. P 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Looking like one of those huge scenes at Hamburg's Miniatur Wunderland, complete with lots of bridges, an IKEA and "too many" locos parked up, in fact it's Ulm from the top of the Minster: 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Nice photo of part of Hiram Blitz’s extensive Vermont Rails System.

RMweb Premium petethemole Posted September 13, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 13, 2015 A Bachmann Super D, some well weathered wagons, static grass and a fairly convincing tree with a plain sky background. http://www.warwickshirerailways.com/lms/lnwrkj203.htm Pete 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

locoholic Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Here's a photo of my Hornby Rood Ashton Hall on my model of Pontrilas, on the line from Newport to Hereford. Sorry about the photoshopped smoke - it's not very realistic. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo C. Cupier Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Spotted this on another forum, that ballast needs toning down. 60009 Union of South Africa on the Borders Railway re-opening special, taken from just before Galashiels, by Dan Gerous and posted on the PPRUNE aviation forum.

The modeler must have recently switched locations as that’s the color ballast frequently seen on the BNSF mainlines in the American South West, like Arizona.... Best, Pete.

28XX Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Here's a photo of my Hornby Rood Ashton Hall on my model of Pontrilas, on the line from Newport to Hereford. Sorry about the photoshopped smoke - it's not very realistic. pontrilas.jpg You could at least have finished painting the signal box. The roof looks good, but raw plasticard walls is below the standard we expect on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

olivegreen Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Bargain bag of pine trees off Ebay I reckon. And the ballast and train are in desperate need of weathering. Typical continental modelling - everything pristine and so unreal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 A nice G scale garden layout: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=561942&nseq=65 . (If you cut the picture off so that the wires across the top don't show, it looks even more like a model.) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
28XX Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 The improbably flat arch and ham-fisted attempt at smoke stains on it give it away IMHO. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
