...might be a way to accentuate some forced perspective through the rail scene, and make some lemonade out of the lack of 1:48 autos. I need to buy some quality automobile models, mock up some scenes and experiment with the camera.
Perhaps a good idea for a future OGR contest would be to establish the deepest looking scene within 24" or so.

You might want to try this place they have a huge selection of really detailed stuff in stock, picked up a few classics last week from them.
Yes the forced perspective works but hard to find to much in 1/48 but huge collection in 1/48
Perhaps have the cars in front of the trains! for forced perspective
front to back (or left to right)
1/43, 1/48, 1/64, 1/87
front to back (or left to right)
1/43, 1/48, 1/64, 1/87
Actually, I tend to do just the opposite since the oversized vehicles tend to overwhelm the compressed sized o scale buildings in the town scenes. Alos a limit the purchases of 1/43 vehicles because of this reason in use them mostly in the rural and industrial areas of the layout.
It is a good question.

really like the contest idea!
on "Founder's Mountain" (NJ Hi-railers) I will be reducing the scale as the mountain goes back and up. this is an interesting method with vehicles as towards the top I will be using hot wheels sized vehicles.. (closer to 1/64 "S" scale)
It is one of my pet peeves, in that so many times variant scale vehicles are just thrown together on layouts but even more so on dioramas.
this being even more Ironic in that I run almost all post war!
