I think the perspective is broken. __________________ vanishing --. ,-'| | point | ,-' | | V | | | + | | | y | | | z | `-. | | \|___x `-.|________________| This is the perspective of the building. The X and Y axes are in the plane of the picture, and Z is towards the vanishing point. The track should be in the XZ plane. Assuming the track is intended to run parallel to the building, the sleepers should lie along the X axis, and the rails should converge towards the vanishing point: __________________ ,-'| | ,-' | | | | | + | | | y | | | z | |=\ '-. | | \|___x |==\ `-.|________________| Instead, the sleepers lie in the XY plane, and the rails don't converge. This makes it look like the track is on a slope. __________________ ,-'| | ,-' | | | | | + | | | y | | | z | `-.,'`-.'-. | | \|___x `-.,'`-.`-.|________________| On the other hand, if the track isn't intended to be parallel to the building, you still need to fix it a bit. Either the rails, the sleepers, or both should converge. I won't try and diddle your picture because our styles are quite different, but I hope this helps. -- Harry Mason ("hjm200.ecs@soton@ac@uk" =~ tr/@./.@/)
