Article #70: More Backdrops and how it can be Done

This is the 2nd article all about doing backdrops with model trains and we will go over 1 way it could be done and the way it was done in the photo above. The photo above shows Norfolk Southern SD60M 6800 leading a loaded coal train with a nice blue sky. This photo in the background is a composite photo not originally a part of the photo showing the locomotive on the layout. This can be a good way of doing backdrops where you erase the background of the original photo and if 2 pictures like this fit together. The angle here is more so an oncoming angle where you can see the background well. Also getting real photos that fit with the photo on the layout is another key thing.

Here is another photo like this and it is of Santa Fe GP3802 3500 with the brakeman standing on the engine ready to go into the yard.
