“In an effort to be as prototypical as possible, I am searching for a resource that depicts what engines and rolling stock were used during various eras?”

  • milton robinson (aka the SrCitiizen) says:

    Totally agree with your suggestions, minus one. There’s this thing called “forced perspective” where you place larger objects near the front of the layout and smaller objects (in this case trees), in the rear. Creates an illusion of distance, of course depending on the design of the layout.

    Milton, thanks for your “forced perspective” suggestion, and I’ll remember it next time.
