I got the idea from two calenders I saw sitting together at Borders. I wish I hadn't hurried the background.
2nd place winner at the 2004 Sonoma County Fair.
Locomotive #2472 is the prize display at the Golden Gate Railroad Museum. This former Southern Pacific P-8 class, 4-6-2 Pacific type, high-speed mainline passenger steam locomotive was originally delivered to Southern Pacific in late May, 1921 and was used to pull the famous Overland Limited train. Later, it saw service in the commuter fleet in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1957, #2472 was retired and donated to the San Mateo County Fairgrounds for static display. In 1976, a group of volunteers pulled together to form called Project 2472 and began a 16 year effort to restore the locomotive to full operating condition. In April, 1991 it made its first run to Sacramento, California to attend Railfair '91. After Railfair, Project 2472 became the Golden Gate Railroad Museum, who continues to keep 2472 in service.

Wow, now that's a lot of detail! It almost looks like something you would see engraved on foreign currency of some kind, or something.WH2007 on October 31, 2007, 8:08:18 PM

Amazing drawing! I reminds me a bit a computer game called "Arcanum" in which there were steam machines and magic creatures. Well done!Fred4543 on January 2, 2007, 11:55:18 AM

the picture is onlt one third of the way loaded as i type this, and all ready I am floored. Do van gogh do the winning piece? Cause thats the only way i could see you not getting first prizeMandiBrandybuck on January 2, 2005, 5:34:47 PM
How very surreal... Nicely done, too... I don't think I could draw either a train or a unicorn to save my immortal soul... Let's hope that's not a requirement, eh?Lovely job and congrads on the second place win at the fair.

I bet the engineer was staring for a LONG while!<br /><br />
Wonderful job! I like the engine better than the unicorns, but that's more fo a detail thing. There's more detail to be put into an engine than a uni. Still, good job on horse anatomy.
