Increasing Layout Size Using Forced Perspective in Model Railways

Looking for a way to expand the apparent size of your model railway? Try forced perspective! You can trick the eyes of your viewer to think the layout extends beyond the edge of the table by modeling far away places with reduced size model buildings. On my Gn15 layout I use HO scale buildings and simplified details to give the illusion that my layout is bigger. With the addition of Woodland Scenics Just Plug lights, the buildings blend in with the foreground buildings for a seamless illusion.
The Modeling a railway set in the 1930s off the coast of Italy in a fictional village called Amalfitano. The people and the railway have their stories. Along the way I will share these stories, how to’s and updates on the little Gn15 scale railway.
The layout is L shaped. Construction started on November 7, 2020.
