        That came out really good. I was wondering how you got the side image. Panorama shot?

          I took about 30 photos and merged them in photoshop and deleted the windows and filled the texture with AI.

          a also took a 3D Scan but this is not usable

                    Very smart. 3D printing really must have completely disrupted the mini-model market. Never really thought about until I saw your trains.

                    The cost to print vs buying a kit must be an order of magnitude cheaper.

                              jo-ke. With this sort of project you are indeed the Mr Kipling of render/build. You make exceedingly good (Cake) projects.

                                A friend of mine, working at the Tramway company is printing it for me.

                                        I think the complete workflow will change.

                                        this took me less than one minute... look at the consistance of the details of my model!!

                                        Prompt: "Generate an image of a tramway, driving on tracks in a landscape between Mannheim and Heidelberg in Germany, keep geometrie"

                                        SU to nano banana:

                                          Have you tried motion blur prompts or adding seated passengers?

                                          Maybe a prompt to add very subtle weathering to the model.

                                          The shadowing across the grass is very good as is the AO between tracks and train.
