Isle of man steamer model

Model Train - A masterpiece ! First thing I noticed as soon as entering the house was the model train, parked in the front room, on a table. It was such an impressive model of a train from the bygone steam era. But at that stage Den did not tell me that he made it himself in his backyard.

Then he tells me that it is a fully WORKING STEAM TRAIN !!!! and it can pull 6 PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!. My jaw simply dropped and I had to pick it up from the floor !. A working steam model with such perfection made in the backyard - Impossible. But you are with Den, these things are just a piece of cake !. He took me to the shed and showed me the lathe works - Yes folks, he has a fully functional miniature lathe in his shed. Den showed me how he actually carved out his metal outfits for the train. Fascinating and the next day, when I told everyone about it - the train became the instant attraction. We all went about clicking it from various angle for full half hour. Great photo opportunity.
