Uptown Bound!

I agree with Donald, the original for me too.

I wonder if the 'unbalance' in later crops is caused by the left hand rail exiting the corner/side of the frame and not the bottom edge, where it was before?

I think you've hit-the-nail-on-the-head there Dave. I wasn't 'seeing' what it was, but that certainly is a significant factor.

If you have a minute Dave, could you elaborate for the sake of understanding, why that would be the case? I heard about needing to be careful about what is placed in a corner and I can 'feel' the difference in this image, I just can't recall the principle involved.

Normally I'm the first to put a diagonal smack into a corner, but we expect the two rails of a track to have a horizontal and stable foundation, with one going almost up the side, this isn't the case.

How does this feel?


Let me know if you'd rather I removed it.

Mind you, now I've done that, I still think I prefer your original, with a bit of sleeper - or "tie" as you call 'em over there

Ah! that 'splains it! Works for me. Thanks Philip, Dave and Donald.
