Peter, your train room and shelves are beautiful, but I'm curious to know what you and others think of having railroad backdrops.

I'm a big fan of around the walls layouts with railroad backdrops. IMO, the backdrops enhance the scenery, especially if they blend in nicely with the scenery, thereby enhancing photos and videos of the layout.

Here is an example of a photo of my layout with a homemade backdrop in the background:

The above photo or a similar one appeared in the Photo Albums section of CTT magazine about 2 years ago.

I believe it may be possible to have both: shelves and backdrops, with the backdrops a foot or two away from the walls.

What do you folks think?
