When I was I kid a frind of mine did have a toy-train powered by steam.
I was jealous and promis myself ; once I will have one of my own .
I grew up and learn metalworks , one of my hobbys was bulding steam engines. so at last , I buld my steam locomotive .
For the record.I`m born near a railwaystation it was my playground and now I live in a city who`s owns a museum-steamtrain railwayline . I still do love steam engines
And It is vintage ,isn`t it
That is so beautiful! I got a model steam locomotive for my 21st birthday from my parents as I have always been crazy about steam driven engines. It is still in fine working order and I recently passed it along to my middle son who loves it as much as I do!
I love steam trains too. My dad used to be an engine driver and would occasionally take us on them when we were growing up. My dream came true when I rode in the cabin of Evening Star, my favourite engine. I'm glad your dream came true and you got your engine too - even better that you built such a beautiful train yourself :)
