The Headshunt - They do it with mirrors

When we last saw the 'The Headshunt' a couple of weeks ago I was trying to see how the visual gap on the left could be filled for photography using an item of rolling stock. I had a further thought this week as to how the gap at the left-hand end could be "filled" for photography, so I ran an experiment, the Keef was hanging around as it is still for sale (hint)...


Whilst using a small mirror actually does fill the visual gap, it is clear that the reflection really makes little sense due to the doubled-up gatepost. What could work better is a sectional timber building, disguising the mirror with an upright. It is certainly something to consider, especially as it could be combined with the previous idea of an end-of carriage section to visually enclose the scene. 

Just for the record, this is the unedited version of the picture above.
