Its a terrific image, I wish I had enough wall real estate left in my steam room to frame and hang it.

Perhaps on the ceiling?!?!

LOL I said to Jen, Daniel had a good idea..........answer was a firm NO :)

Hummmm ... what a coincidence!

That is the same answer I'd expect to get here!!! ;c)

Perhaps a somewhat different technique may be applicable here. I have far more train pictures, mostly artwork with a few photos, than I have wall space. My solution for that is that some of my picture frames have multiple images in them, stacked one behind another. When the mood strikes, I will occasionally change a few of those pictures being shown, and in so doing, change the ambiance of my surroundings a bit!

Rather looks that way to me too!

Post by: parallelmotion on June 04, 2024, 07:30:06 pm: I think it was just a seasonal cover for the magazine without an article associated with steam engines. The artist was definitely looking at a Marklin.

Found this cover, would dearly have liked to read the article but can't find it.

Certainly looks like Grandfather is the one that wants to play with the new steam engine!
