Boys on train, in their glory.
Breaking up the coal on top of the steam engine.
The name of the engine?
I want one of these outside of my apartment. Gold and red and blue, slightly distressed, industrial primaries.
This monochromatic image feels to me as if there is a little white sticker on top to identify the product. "I feel a package design coming on!"
I love the gadgetry of old steam engines. Each little crank and gear and valve a mystery that I am content to leave a mystery. Somehow if I understood it all, I believe I would lose my fascination.
Stoking the fires! I never realized how labor intensive the steam engine really was. We stopped several times on our short journey to ?add more water? to the engine.
At the roundabout for a little "gaze at the vista" break.
