Bizarre train track optical illusion will mess with your mind - Super - 04-07-2016 This bizarre train track optical illusion will mess with your mind. Of course we this happen every time we try to use the same curves to run a side by side rail in our layouts but its neat to see this guy freaking out about his kids toys. http://mashable.com/2016/04/07/train-track-optical-illusion/#s.ptqea8KGq9 https://twitter.com/MarcSettle/status/717812888740761600/video/1 RE: Bizarre train track optical illusion will mess with your mind - DalaGStanator - 04-07-2016 I thought the other curve was a different radius.. RE: Bizarre train track optical illusion will mess with your mind - Super - 04-07-2016 I think this fellow copied from the article but used Tomy blue track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9wq6hW7kT0 RE: Bizarre train track optical illusion will mess with your mind - Miksolo - 04-08-2016 Days after reading this and being amazed, I remembered I knew this all along. .-. In the videos, they look SLIGHTLY longer than normal! I swear! ;w; RE: Bizarre train track optical illusion will mess with your mind - Super - 04-08-2016 It is also a trick to the eye where things closer appear to be bigger than a same sized item further away. Magicians use this trick a lot as well in the movie making industry. I would imagine if this were filmed from directly over the track pieces you would see it differently where they look the same. RE: Bizarre train track optical illusion will mess with your mind - ActionChugger - 04-22-2016 Since this thread is about curve tracks.... How many types of curve tracks are there?? I was sorting through my tracks and I found I have 3 types I only know of three: normal curve outward curve R-09 and double length curve (which i do not own) R-21 So I do not know what I have or where did it come from? (3rd longest in the picture) Is it for a set? RE: Bizarre train track optical illusion will mess with your mind - plarnold - 04-23-2016 That might be a imitation Plarail track? -plarnold RE: Bizarre train track optical illusion will mess with your mind - Super - 04-23-2016 Interesting, I also thought there were only 3 types. Does the longer one have any names on it? It looks to be a shade different and may be as Plarnold says. RE: Bizarre train track optical illusion will mess with your mind - ActionChugger - 04-23-2016 No Name RE: Bizarre train track optical illusion will mess with your mind - Super - 04-23-2016 Being an odd size like that is still a good thing especially for a tricky area of an intense layout.
