Brother's First Train Ride

This original piece was done for his 70th birthday.  It was modeled after a 1/8th scale train engine he had built which pulls train cars around a track in his yard.  It was a replica of the first train engine he got to ride in his late teens.  He had a 43 year career with the railroad.  I wanted to commemorate that for him.  Note the detail of wire and details of the engine itself.  It was a challenge but fun to do!!!
