number one dead giveaway

Hand laid track "may be" superior in detail over commercial available flextrack but that requires details like seen on this two examples of a German switch for H0pur. That is usually not the case for most hand laid tracks I see on the web.

I see the biggest advantage of hand laid tracks and especial switches in a more elegant track plan in tight space with direct attached switches to each other. We have a lot of examples in this forum where hand laid switches permit elegant track plans I can not implement with standard Atlas switches.

But we should never forget, it is a hobby only. The one who builds it must have the fun no one else!

That's beautiful realistic looking track Reinhard, and in this case, I'd say it's the grass that is the give away, but again, it is a great scene. We shouldn't look too up close and look at the overall picture to see if something looks 'real' to you.
Even so, enjoyment is number 1 prio. Who cares if the person doesn't move, cars are always parked, we have wifi telegraph poles and flanges too crude etc etc...
