Last Thursday, our Gandy Dancers group visited John Peluso's outstanding railroad in our weekly meeting. I came away with at least three distinct thoughts: 1) you can get a lot of railroad in a 16-inch wide space - all of John's two-level railroad (top photo above) except the yard (also above) is just 16" wide; 2) when done correctly (and it is by John), just how good photo backdrops can be - John uses ScenicKing photo backdrops blended in with the foliage - note the tree next to the foliage backdrop just left of the brick building backdrop in the yard photo, and the entire line of trees against the photo backdrop in the bottom level (top photo); and 3)John uses all four-axle power, and it works well and looks good on a smaller railroad. His entire railroad is of very neat, clean design, and runs well. An enjoyable evening.
