I c an't access your pictures. Take out a free account at www.trainboard.com and you can post your pics directly into your post, like you see others do. Railimages is the name of the forum at trainboard. <br /> <br />I am a big fan of using real pictures. To me most of the backdrops I see look like they were painted by some one who didn't major in art, if you know what I mean. I think the background is very critical to establishing believabilitgy, era, atmosphere, and visual references to a layout. Can you imagine watching movies on the big screen with backdrops done by some of the guys I have seen. For some reason, a guy will spend tens of thousands of dollars over the years acquiring rolling stock, engines, and structures, then slop on a backdrop with paint that must have cost him $75 dollars and looks it. <br /> <br />Funny, when I replied your picture appeared.
