I've always been fascinated with items created in miniature and when I first saw this had to download it to my files. Made by an artist named Cindy Chin. It is a carving of a railroad train done on an ordinary carpenter's pencil! I wonder how many she broke before she got a good one?Hope you enjoy it and stay tuned for my thread on model railroads.
It looks right on topic to me! Cool!

That old guards caboose and the deep maroon passenger carriage look absolutely fantastic, so well restored. ::tu:: I like the photo of the old signs, the one of the old oil company has me fascinated. There is a TV show on over here about 2 blokes who buy and sell old things, and they are always on the lookout for old signs especially anything to do with cars, motor bikes and old oil companies. I had no idea how many old independent oil companies used to exist in America, just staggering. :o Thanks for posting, have a good weekend. ::handshake::
