Passenger Car Trends

you could even use N scale buildings in the back to force the perspective. The Ma & Pa railroad was a real railroad on a 4' x 8'. Small locos, cars, everything.

Good idea, I imagine some N scale are a bit oversize for a small N layout, so might look good in the background areas.  Trees and stuff like that can be cut down to look "just right".

Planning a small layout is a challenge, but it's slowly coming together. Hopefully I can one day take a picture that will look a little like a real railroad.   

Thanks
