Besides ships and boats I have an affinity for train locomotives. I find their engineering fascinating and they just look cool. I also like to repurpose things to make my projects and this mini locomotive is a classic example. It is made from copper plumbing parts, left over ship model parts, washers for the wheels, jewelry items and decor, paper fasteners and parts from a disposable camera. There is a set of three gears stowed away underneath which allows the drive wheels to turn in synch. Took a few hours to make as you might imagine.
