A while back I did a video on The Grunge about adding a backdrop and said backdrop included the custom made photo. I got lots of questions about how I did it, so I promised to make a video. At long last (you don't know how long), Part 1 is here!
I consider the backdrop to be a crucial piece of scenery and a photo backdrop goes a long way toward adding realism to your model train layout. In this video we cover tips, terminology, some best practices, discussion of print vs. online resolution, and then get into the backdrop tutorial (or at least start it).
