Cant Deficiency
Expressed in inches, it is a measure of the extra cant that would have to be added to the rails around a particular curve at a particular running speed to completely cancel out the lateral cornering force.

Cant
Tilt or inclination, as the inward inclination of a rail, accomplished by using canted tie plates. The undesirable outward tilt of tie plates on sharp curves. Amount by which one rail of a curved track is raised above the other.
Cant
Amount by which one rail of a curved track is raised above the other. Cant is 'positive' when the outer rail is higher than the inner rail and 'negative' when the inner rail is higher than the outer. Also known as "super elevation".

Superelevation (Cant) - Designed to facilitate higher railway speeds, superelevation entails banking tracks in curves to minimize car sway, reduce rail and wheel wear, and redistribute loads across both rails.

Cant The term used to denote the raising of the outer rail on curved track to allow higher speeds than if the two rails were level. Cant compensates for the centrifugal force arising from a train traversing a curve.
Cant: Angle. Can be used in the context of the cant of the track (the relative level one rail to another); and the cant of a rail, being the angle of an individual rail relative to vertical.
The gradual introduction of cant before a bend commences, often used on high speed lines.

Another way - rather than move the woman, cant the entire scene so it is at a 45 degree angle to the viewer. You can see the figures and activity clearly.

scenery kits usually come designed to look like specific stations, your completely unique ones. They usually come with enough parts to give you train a very nice look - and are often cheaper then buying it piece by piece. The problem is you cant ...
