View railway's general appearance (7)
I believe the answer is:
scenery
'general appearance' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'view railway's' is the wordplay.
'view' becomes 'scene' (synonyms).
'railway' becomes 'ry' (abbreviation for railway).
'scene'+'ry'='SCENERY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scenery that I've seen before include "Theatrical background" , "movie sets?" , "flats" , "On-stage background" , "Stage backdrop, perhaps" .)
