El Zorro Train in HO scale? Or is it a real train? You be the judge. - modelleisenbahn? :-)

The authentic looking smoke coming from the loco is actually my DCC sound decoder getting fried ;-)

OK, not quite - I've manipulated some footage of real trains to see if I could give it a model like appearance using the "tilt shift" filter available in "Magic Bullet Looks" from Red Giant Software.

This is a real train. It is merely filmed with a lens with a high F-number. Probably 1.8 50mm or less.

@2610ksj

The train is indeed real, however the depth of field is not the same across the frame so the f1.8 idea doesn't hold up (and checking the source footage it was actually f5.6 !). The effect was added in post production using the 'swing tilt' process.

I think it is a combination, I know the train is a model so the guy just brought in some video of moveing trees.

@wtierce1

Both the train and background are real!

This Is Not Real This Is The Right Answer.

@poathmodels I still don't know about the train- It looks to real.
