Spot The Difference
Remember as kids playing “spot the difference” between two cartoons or drawings… well, why shouldn’t we have the same fun a few years on?
The two photos below of a model layout scene look the same, but there are actually 6 subtle differences between the two. Can you spot them?
If you want to be the first to supply the 6 answers, you can submit them using the “Comments” link below.
It would also be good to get your feedback (using the “Comments” link). Would you like to see more “Spot the Difference” photos added in future weeks?
Reader poll results since posting these photos showed 84% wanted to see more “Spot The Difference” photos in coming months, so YES will bring you more.
Congratulations to Carl, Ron, Mickael, Lou, Ken, John R, Gordon, William, and Newman who were the first to correctly spot all 6 differences. You can see their answers in the comments (see below).

Congrats to those first six! Yes, by carefully scanning a small, horizontal area at a time, I was able to get all six, but it did take me a while to spot the last one. Yes, tricky, indeed. I look forward to future “spottings”.
