Secret Genius Trick: Use Photos to Maximize Layout Depth... and Realism

Even if it’s just a board painted sky blue, a backdrop goes a long way towards making your layout look more realistic. And a photo backdrop can make it even more realistic-even if you have limited space.
I consider the backdrop to be a crucial piece of scenery and a photo backdrop goes a long way toward adding realism to your model train layout. If you happen to have tracks laid very close to the backdrop, such a structure may not be possible, so here it can especially help your realism to use a photo backdrop of some kind. This helps disguise that seam by minimizing the effect that the sky touches your layout. It instantly provides depth.

I like to save old scenic calenders. I have cut out certain scenes (trees, mountains, lakes etc.) and used them as backdrops for photo shoots. They really make the photos pop!!!

Good job, Joe. Not only does it look pretty good but you're also found the perfect music that sort of captures the feel of the moment. Bravo

I paid more attention than usual to background music for this one. (Often I use next to none.) So thanks for that comment!

Great video! I totally agree and your backdrops look great. I've used a similar technique on my layout and it adds so much interest and realism.

Very nice, and look much easier to install by yourself than the commercial 18" tall backdrops, like I used. But I also installed mine before building the benchwork. I agree, it's definitely like night and day!
@ThePixelDepotLLC
@ThePixelDepotLLC 7 месяцев назад
I do have a tall commercial backdrop to install, which represents a concrete plant (not prototypical, but I think it'll look the part). I'll let you know how that goes when I do it.

Joe, Would love to see a track plan for that layout. I am designing that exact area north to towards the scrap yard but in 3 rail! Thanks!
@ThePixelDepotLLC
@ThePixelDepotLLC 7 месяцев назад
You can find the plan here: www.chessiemctd.com/latest-track-plan/. That section is at the top left. The page actually lies, it is NOT the latest track plan. There is a lter version, but I haven't updated the page yet. Hope this helps!

Great background! My question, are we going to see more of the Grunge? I’m planning a shelf layout and got some good ideas from previous videos. Thanks!
@ThePixelDepotLLC
@ThePixelDepotLLC 7 месяцев назад
That's the plan! I struggled for a long time trying to come up with a topic that wasn't "just another kitbash video." And I have. But, (surprise, surprise) I still have to kitbash the structure. You can see it in the background of this video. So it's at least underway.

Too bad the last track is so close to the wall. The photo backdrop is great, but personally I prefer to blend it in with half relief structures, trees and such. Even if it's at the expense of some track. Choices, choices 😊
@ThePixelDepotLLC
@ThePixelDepotLLC 7 месяцев назад
As you said, sometimes tough choices have to be made. Normally I wouldn’t go that close Unless the track is hidden because, as you said, I think things look better when you can blend with scenery and structures. But in this case there were no structures on the prototype, either, since a road runs along the yard.

Thank you, great video. I may have missed it but what type of printer were you using? Inkjet seems to work but usually requires sealing with some clear coat. Coler lazer printer would be nice but they a much more expensive printers to purchase. RSVP.
@ThePixelDepotLLC
@ThePixelDepotLLC 7 месяцев назад
Hi Mike. Yes, I did use a color laser printer. As you say, if you were to use an ink jet printer you’d need to carefully seal the sheets. And I’m not sure I’d recommend it without being really careful. I should also mention that the labels I used are designed for laser printers.
