My suggestion: build an super-detailed HO passenger station interior with large windows or a detailed station platform. Mount it on a piece of wood that can be clamped to the edge of your layout in various places. It would offer a unique photo platform, setting interesting scenes in the foreground that would be almost impossible to do in N Scale while showcasing some of the layout "in the distance." <br /> <br />I'm not much of a photographer but this picture shows what I mean. This is an O Scale conductor, standing on the platform of the Lionelville Station from my Dad's 1950s layout checking out the construction progress of my new N Scale Muddy Creek Sawmill: <br /> <br />[img]http://www.northernstudio.com/mcrr/images/o-scale_dude.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />Obviously not N Scale, but obviously not something I want to part with. Someday, when the layout is presentable, I'll get my brother who is a professional photographer, to do a series of photos using the few O scale items I still have as foreground. Your HO figures could serve a similar purpose and be a pleasure to have hanging around the layout. <br /> <br />Wayne (the curmudgeon)
