SciFi and Fantasy Art: Train

I love the shape of the steam train leading the other wagons, it looks like a pressing iron or an anvil. very cool, I have always found that shape in vehicles very attractive

i think there will always be a fondness for nostelgia in the secret heart of the engineering community and a tourest market as well - it is the overscaleness of traditional guideway based systems that leads so often to assumptions of impracticality of the guideway concept in general - at the same time of course that is almost as often the source of the romanticism of their nostelgia - so i can well see some far distant tourist opperator comming up with something like this - to cross the burning sands of a mars like world in some distant solar system in air conditioned comfort - whether opperated by rail enthuists or some trans galactic hotel chain - with galaxy class meal service being a major drawing and crowd pleasing feature ... ~

Ah yes, nothing like futuristic retro. Just like the new beetle. Cool train! The cow catcher is a nice effect.

Wow bangelijke trein hey ik hem een klein vrogske zouwekik deje trein als model moge gebruike veur ne futuristische strip dak ont tekene zen tis nie dak en excacte copy gon gebruike mor toch iet wat er oep trekt.. Geef me een mailtje met een antwoord ok???

One thing I'v alwayse liked about retro-style is the 'heavyness' of it. YOu alwayse get these beutifully over-engineered (almost armorclad) machines that rampage theri way akllong. Unstopable - built to last.

i wander what would happen if a Cardassian got caught in the cow catcher..... Eeewwwwww....

If you do get around to make a 3d of it, make it a monorail-maglev train... more sci-fi that way. Cool pic by the way
