Model Railroading > A mirror at the end of the St.Lawrence Yard - 2015 PC

I had ordered a custom mirror for the end of the large St Lawrence Yard, and set it in place - here are the photographic results from a few angles :)

Admittedly, I had to stare at the photos for a second before I could figure out where the mirror was.   Which means, for you, this is a success!

I still can't figure out where the mirror is!  My guess would be between the two blue buildings in the foreground.  Do I win a prize??

It would be really cool to cut a car or two in half and place them against the mirror!  Then there would not be a mirror image line where all the cars are lined up to give it away!

That is where I finally decided it was, also!  Yes, you get a pat on the back!  Feel better now!

The biggest clue: the backwards PC herald on the green boxcar to the left of the image. But I didn't see that right away.

Took me a second as well, nicely done.

Bob if you really want to drive people nuts paint the back wall of the blue building a different color. Then letter it with a backwards sign so it appears correct in the mirror !! I have a mirror in my steel mill and have had people look at it and say look the steel mill continues on the other side of that wall. They walk around the wall and cannot figure out why the steel mill is not there. ---------- Ken 

LOL....oh yes...we had a fellow at the club who did an intesection in a city road with two angles mirrors, and cars/structures painted/finished differently on both sides and ends, and signs done backward. I can do that with my printer which can print backwards....yes...the backward PC logo does mark the location of the mirror :)

I have thought about painting the blue building a different color on the mirror-side wall....we'll try it and see where it leads :)
