Tiny Escapes
I needed a unique load for one of the flat cars on my model of the British Columbia Railway. What better than a couple of Escape 19's ! Using our normal-sized 19 as a guide, I built these two. They are 160th actual size, about one inch long.

Where do you set up up your trains in your Escape?

Looks real. Is that just a photograph behind your bridge, or did you photoshop something into your picture?

I placed a photo taken at the actual bridge site behind the models. It's a bit skewed but it conveys the right perspective, I think.
Thanks for all of the good comments. Makes the trials and numerous errors worthwhile .

Great job. However, I do think that you need a few more tie-downs on your trailers. Looks like they may roll off if your train comes to a quick stop!
