Between the crossbucks just above the road surface
OK, YES, the stop sign (and the street sign, above it) are about HO scale in size (maybe a bit larger). Also, the cross bucks on the other side of the tracks is about 15 % smaller than 1/29 as well. This whole Cedar Street crossing is right up against the backdrop; about 3" deep, overall. This scene (below) is just to the left (east) of Cedar St. That’s NS in the background with CSX River St yard in the foreground and Al’s Plumbing between. Traffic on Seymour Road is app. O scale. About NS 3232; it’s an SD40-2, former Southern and, as does many of these units, has dual control stands for running either way.

This is Cedar Street in “natural” light–(without a lot of Photoshop) Note the plowed off snow.

I missed the street sign. Great use of multiple scale pieces for perspective. I believe you have achieved your goal.
A closer view of the crossing. The drywall screw holds the 1/8" hardboard mountain profile in place and is not noticeable at normal viewing distance but you can use it for scale of the scene, here.

Excellent!!..I saw it all Bob
Nice work, never thought an indoor layout could look that good.
well, i am just plain jealous!
No joy on the pic, Bob. There is a space between black and trim. LSC doesn’t like spaces. 
Been a while since I’ve posted here. I think I’ve forgotten how! This is a stepped back view of what the railroadd looks like now. We’ve used a lot of black. Hides distractions, makes the layout and backdrop stand out.

Just rename the jpeg on your computer, removing the space. Then re-upload it to your freightshed.

On a roll! The effect we’re going for is just a lite skiff of snow and it melting away. This is how we have snow down here.

Good job on the scenery.
Are you using 1/32 or 1/24 scale vehicles? The layout looks really cool.

When I was stationed in Beaufort, SC, we frequently had ice storms, with 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice covering everything. It was beautiful, but dangerous. Many is the time that I landed on my butt while out trying to take photos.
How would you model that?

I’m sure Bob could do it, but I bet modeling your butt wouldn’t be pretty

:lol:
Bob, Ralph’s comments not withstanding, I really like your work. Marvelous!
Absolutely convincing!
I am totally amazed by the superbity of it.

Looks great Bob. The close up of #4313 is almost indistinguishable from reality.
