It was so much more...

 


It was never just some paper kit.

Once it had been built it came to life.  Just looking at it for hours at a time, the small boy could hear it, he could feel the low rumble as it passed.

He imagined the smell from the smokestack and the taste of dust kicked up by the wind it carried along with it.

This had traveled far beyond the walls of his house.

It had transported him to where no dishes needed to be washed or trash taken out.

That is a awesome piece of workmanship and talent! What an accomplishment to be able to create something so very cool!! So intricate and beautiful that when just staring at it you are transported beyond current surroundings to faraway places and the little engine that could, creates stories in your mind that are then put on paper for others to enjoy and imagine!
