Steam Locomotives
They are my early works packed in "Collection part #1". Steam engines are consisted almost black, so the work is cheap. It needs to be renewed ASAP.
Steam Locomotive (SL) is a locomotive burning coal, boiling water, and send steam to cylinders to push pistons. It is a locomotive using steam engine. It dashes with making smoke, steam, sand, heat, and sweat of the crews.
Absolutely black. Smoke soils the running body. Although I felt it conservative since JNR days by childish mind, I begin to be fascinated as time goes by. How is the feeling of the "Thomas-era kids" about Japanese SLs? Unique movements move their mind of mechanics lovers. The icons donft show them at all, unfortunately.
Old boys and old girls are sleeping in many places. You have to feel their heat and listen to the roar in hot moments. Umekoji Loco Museum in Kyoto has many living guys. You should check phoenix relief on the side of deflector.
