Recently, I was bemoaning the fact that I have some nice Matchbox or similar cars from the early 60s though 80s but wished they were O scale. Then I got to thinking that with some creativity and a move from the living room floor to my cr*ppy basement, maybe I could incorporate them in my layout with the right perspective to look like they were in the distance.
I saw a photo of a train club layout that mixed scales in this way, and in Lee W's recent post, it looks like he has some z-scale trains in his train store building (?).
So, have any of you mixed scales to good effect? Any photos to share? I'm not sure how to figure out the perspective to get the cars to look right given severe space limitations but have an idea that would use shelving as diaramas of sorts with a painted wall background to tie it together. Of course, the barn board walls would have to go! :-)
Thanks in advance for sharing,
