Read MoreAt some point I will write about something big, but for now I write about something big on details! There are so many wonderful features in this vignette from Tim Schwalfenberg Built as part of an Ironbuilder challenge, (the metallic silver pin thing is the seed part) and simply called Choo Choo!

Vince Toulouse has created another striking machine. You may recall his Polar Transport a while back, this time he's built a bullet train. It's a fine example of the obscure genre dieselpunk, in fact one of the finest ever built. This thing is awesome, with bold colors, loads of interesting details, and a fair number of elements I don't think I've seen before. And those fins made form the mars rover panels are excellent. The open cockpit on the top is a great idea, too. Check it out!
