I recall visiting a layout back in the 1980's on tour.  It had been featured 
in  The Narrow Gauge & Short Line Gazette.  It was very well done with great 
weathering and detail and lights in the buildings and appeared very realistic 
while a train was moving through it.
  But when I looked at one small town scene after the train had left it 
appeared strange.  It was a literal ghost town.  No wind movement, no vehicle 
movement, no human movement, no noise, all creating a unrealistic effect after 
a few moments.  Out in the countryside the effect of no movement was far more 
realistic unless you were looking at water. I feel I like animation that is 
almost unnoticed best, but still there and non-repetitive like much of real 
life.
