QUOTE: Originally posted by jeffers_mz In all the pics I've seen of the railroad we model (Silverton), I don't think I've seen even one of the things you describe. No tunnels, at least on the prototype, but definitely bridges and telegraph wires. Since this was before the labor movement, I guess the RR just figured that safety was an individual choice.

Figures always give it away - I've never seen a model figure that I would mistake for a real person, even at moderate distances (particularly if you can see the face).
