Another Train

[Keith Burns]

Although this is not a totally turned project, there is a lot of turning involved as you can see. The locomotive measures 19" long, 5-1/2" wide x 8-1/2" tall. It is mostly cherry with some purpleheart, walnut, ebony and some other woods. I have with this engine a coal car, two passenger cars, a gondola car, a log car, two boxcars and a caboose, with track, when combined it mearures 12' long.

[John Hart]

Oh man!!! I love it! We really need to see the whole thing Keith. Well...at least I need to see the whole thing!:)

[Steve Schlumpf]

Very impressive workmanship Keith! Great looking locomotive!

[Dennis Peacock]

Beautiful Keith....Simply beautiful. :cool:

[Neal Addy]

Toot toot! That is FANTASTIC!!! :cool:

I'm really impressed by your creativity. I'd have never thought of this in a million years.

Is it going to any particular little one? Must be someone special.

[Bernie Weishapl]

WOW Keith. Dang that is absolutely beautiful. I would love to see it all.

[Jim Underwood]

Very Nice! That's quite an interesting project. How much time would you estimate having in the engine?

[jeremy levine]

Thats great , if my son ever saw it I would be in trouble.

[Keith Burns]

Here is the rest of the train. Sorry for the lousy pictures.

[Keith Burns]

Very Nice! That's quite an interesting project. How much time would you estimate having in the engine?

I would "guess" 40 hours or so.

[Barry Stratton]

Very impressive Keith! Thanks for the additional photo's.

[Mark Pruitt]

Keith, that is some awesome work!

[Mike Ramsey]

Keith, you are amazing! The train set is an example of fine craftsmanship
at its best!!

[Paul Engle]

Awsome stuff Keith, is it steam, diesel or DC electric?:eek:

[Jon Shively]

That is fantastic! Great work and attention to detail! Thanks for sharing the rest of the train as I was interested in that like the others. Have a nephew interested in the lathe that outgrew Thomas the Tank Engine, when he sees this he will flip! Thanks for showing this.

[John Hart]

The Whole train is just too cool Keith. You already know that I want to do this. You set the bar and you set it high.

Oh...I spotted something
56350

[Jim Ketron]

Awesome Keith!
Beautiful work Bud!

[Joyce Baldauf]

Fantastic train, tremendous work. Both my husband and I are retired railroaders and are wondering one thing, where's the most natural car for a woodturner? What's that you ask? Why the TANK car of course!

Great work, keep on rollin'!

[Glenn Clabo]

Wicked cool...yipes that some awesome work.

[Glenn Hodges]

One of the best looking piece of work I have seen posted on the Creek, thanks for letting me see it.

[Tom Sherman]

Very nice train Keith, I know a fellow locally that just completed one too, worked on it for about two weeks total.

[John Chandler]

That is super. I'd take my hat off to you if I wore one - you did a great job.

[Corey Hallagan]

Now that is cool Keith. As a former model railroader, I can't imagine doing something like that. Very nice!

[Skip Spaulding]

Just Beautiful! What do you do withall your spare time?!

[Curt Fuller]

Now that's something! That just about incorporates every kind or woodworking skill I can think of. And a fine example of them all too.

[Ernie Nyvall]

Oh man Keith. That engine looks great... for the whole thing I have no words. Very impressive.

[Mark Cothren]

Keith, that is remarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkable!!! !!!!! What a fantastic project! No way to put a dollar amount on something like that... since you're so much older than me, one of these days I won't be surprised to see this on the Antique Road Show being appraised for a fat chunk of change....:D

[Christopher Hunter]

I love that...
but can I have all the other items in the photo ---LOL
Thanks in advance,
--Chris

[Keith Burns]

Thanks all for your kind comments. It probably took over three years to complete the "total" train. If I hadn't run out of wall space I would probably still be adding cars. Thanks again.

[Bill Wyko]

Brings new meaning to the term "ALL A BOARD" Thats very beautiful. I'm very impressed at not just the work but the imagination as well.

[Jonathon Spafford]

That is totally amazing and it is totally beautiful. You did an awesome job on that!! Looks like you have a lot of work to be proud of in that room!!!

[Bill Grumbine]

Keith, I am always impressed with the skill and patience it takes to build something like this. Very nice job!
