heppnerguy Posted December 10, 2016 Report Posted December 10, 2016 nice job all the way around. I too like trains.. I think it was all the time I spend at the tracks playing on the parked trains and always watching when an old coal fired giant went down the tracks with all it's noises and smoke...Still wish they were around Dick heppnerguy Kris Martinson 1 Quote

Kris Martinson Posted December 10, 2016 Author Report Posted December 10, 2016 massive horsepower,It hard to believe the work they can do.i love trains too.hopefully i'll get a chance to ride one someday.good job! Kevin, as a kid, I spent time in a town with a saw mill. Old locomotives brought harvested pines into the mill throughout the day and night, and I loved to watch them come and go. I also got to ride on a passenger train over the Sierras from Sacramento to Reno a few times. It was pulled by an engine like the one in this picture. Quote
Rolf Posted December 10, 2016 Report Posted December 10, 2016 Well done. Lots of train nuts in my family. My grandfather was an engineer on a steal locomotive in Germany. My first really challenging fretwork was Jeff Zaffino's now and then or something like that. Kris Martinson 1 Quote
Frank Pellow Posted December 10, 2016 Report Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) Very good! You now have me wondering if I can learn enough about GIMP for me to be able to create a pattern for one of the Algoma Central Railway and/or Ontario Northland Railway trains of my youth.

Sparkey Posted December 10, 2016 Report Posted December 10, 2016 Very nice Kris. I am going to have to give pattern making a try one of these days. Kris Martinson 1 Quote
meflick Posted December 10, 2016 Report Posted December 10, 2016 Very nice Kris. Thanks for sharing. I think everybody is drawn to a train. My son loved trains when he was little - so much so that he wandered away from his father once at a home show to see the train setup. Hubby came to me and said do you have him - I said no - you took him but I bet I know where he is - I was right - he was over at the trains (or was until he looked around and there was no one he knew and started crying - then a lady took him to the office to page his parents over the intercom. He was only about 3 at the most, they had gone to the playset area across from the train. Needless to say - my heart dropped for a bit and I was NOT happy with hubby! He's about to turn 20 just before Christmas so hubby was eventually forgiven! Robert - Those trains out of pop cans are too cute. I have never seen that before. Thanks for sharing.
