It's a special effects web service ( nothing to download onto your PC ) that makes photos look like a model town ....... ideal for backdrops ?

My own personal opinion is ..... yes it is !
However good a model house, tree or loco are they still have the appearance of a model. If the background is 'true life' photo I feel, to my eye, it exaggerates that effect.
We all have our own ideas on modelling and at least this one you can try for 'free' !

The backdrop (back scene) should be a good deal less detailed than the foreground.
a) this is so in real life - the further away, the less detail you see; b) the more detail in the background, the more it draws the eye from the trains in the foreground.
Sometimes even a plain blue sky is enough.

Some of the Bognor Regis Model Railway club members are constructing a model designed to be operated by children at shows. One of their members brought a backscene he'd just purchased. They added it to a board, placed (my) old Lima DMU on the track and the results can be seen starting here.

So, how exactly do you propose to use the tiltshift effect on a backscene?
