Yeah, that's a "Model Railroader" phoney shot all right.  The crummy lookin' cars, rail ties all askew, weeds all over the place...

You'll NEVER see an O gauge railroader's layout looking like that!  WE have higher standards of appearance than those HO guys!

THAT'S why I hang out a lot on the "Classic Toy Trains" website!

And you'll never see any of "Penny Trains" layouts looking that that!

Hey...thinking Classic Trains recent Photo of the Day with the 2 CB&Q stockcars is a trick from the Model Railroader dudes. 

That figure with that pose is available in every scale from Z to G, the picture in the background is a pasted backdrop, those weeds are modeler's weeds. Notice how the one stock car's roadnumber is conveniently cropped because it's probably the same road number as the other!  

You can't fool an old horse fly.
