[quote user="Steven Otte"]hat's because your two eyes provide your brain with depth information that keeps you from being fooled. The primary use of forced perspective in model railroading, in my opinion, is to fool the single eye of the camera.[/quote] You are right there, Steven. My issue with forced perspective is that there is only one angle in which you may get the feeling of depth. Viedwed from another angle, things just don´t look right. An excellent example is Peter Dillen´s "Ijsselstein" layout, shown at the Ontraxs event in 2015. <img src="http://www.ardmediathek.de/img/standard/00/27/78/81/42/-1852531467/16x9/1280?mandant=ard" alt=" " /> The layout allows for only one viewing angle - an inch off that and the thing looks rather ridiculous!
