A particularly clever idea is staging track labels. Gary cut plastic
from the packaging batteries come in. Cutting curved portions

There is a highway bridge right up against the backdrop above
the tracks, perfectly masking the hole in the backdrop. Further
camouflaging the trick is a rail bridge on the nearer track pass-
ing over the same stream. Combined with the scenery and
paint on the backdrop, it makes an effective scene.
