If you changed loco & rolling stock, could this just as easily be Nevada as Turkey?
Based on that bathtub tender could be Germany in the 50’s, or Poland or East Germany in the early 60’s as well.
it can’t be in the us, because of the hut - and it can’t be germany because of the color of the earth.
Why because of the hut would it not fit a US southwest setting? There were/are adobe block, and sod, huts and houses of similar style from Kansas to California. Here’s one from Mexico, for example

The landscape and stone ruins are similar to parts of Nevada. Of course the train itself is very foreign-looking – a dead giveaway.
Well I think you have a valid point.
It looks very similar to places in Nevada, North Eastern California, or Southeastern Oregon, if you don’t analyze the trees or brush to closly.
Thanks for the interesting picture.

Think I may steal the scene to model in On30 maybe.
If I could have my own house with my own garden railway, would do that too.
But, yeah, replace that train with Rio Grande, D&RGW 3ft, V&T, C&S, they’d all look right at home.
