This is the first time we've built a train largely from sculpted concrete but we decided it was the ideal way to achieve the look we wanted this go around. The train needs to sport a great deal of character to look like the tired and worn mining engine of the story. Jack did a great job on the welding of the armature and the guys are almost done the wiring in preparation for the sculpted concrete. This is going to be a great looking train in a short while. Tomorrow we begin building the mountain on which it will be perched. We'll be building it in sections in our shop and then transport and assemble it on site. Stay tuned...
