1307 in stereo

Look at these two images so that your eyes focus on a point halfway to the screen. You should see 4 images. Make the inner 2 images become 1 by moving your head and adjusting your focus. If successful you will see loco 1307 in stereo. These images were made in late 1972 or early 1973 where withdrawn locos were stored prior to scrapping. The camera was a Zeiss Ikon Contina and the film Tri-X with home development and these scans from commercial prints.

Doesn't work for me, I'm afraid, but I'm very happy with the 2D version - thanks for sharing!

GrahamH replied to Erhard Bernstein:

Try holding a pen vertically by the ink end about halfway between you and the two images.
Focus your eyes on the top of the pen and on the screen you may see two overlapping images beyond the pen.
Move the pen towards you or the screen and tilt your head a little to get the images exactly overlapping.
You may then find the stereo image suddenly comes into view.

I found it worked when I took off my spectacles and went to a large image on black. What has me guessing is the locomotive type, which I can't identify.

GrahamH replied to tiabunna:

NSW 13 cl. Originally a 12cl tender type introduced from 1877 converted to tank loco after 12 cl were superseded by better long distance passenger locos. This one is now statically preserved at Yass as it was the last steam loco which worked the Yass branch, withdrawn in 1965.
