That's a really interesting idea. As you say, the interior is too fuzzy, but when the train is moving along in "daylight" the views are really quite convincing. At model size you are never going to get a realistic depth of field to simulate how the human eye sees things at 1:1 scale unless you use massively bright lighting and then stop the lens down to a tiny, tiny aperture, even if you're using a small sensor size. I'm a photographer, but not a videographer so I don't know if such gear exists. I think it's worth pursuing though, because the effect looks very promising. Another way might be to film a sideways view from a flatbed wagon and then superimpose an interior image over the footage, though to my eyes this always looks very artificial and not at all convincing.
Impressive as always. If you are in Scotland again let me know and will assist if required.
Strangely satisfying to see the yard fill up with stock. Thanks for another great vid. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
2 vids in one day. I’m blessed. Thank you Kier 👍🏻
Marvelous.
Impressive collection - love the long rakes
Nice one. And Deltics.
Great layout

I did consider a superimposed image to represent the interior, but you quickly lose that feeling between daylight and in tunnels.
