The Cap
Bicycle Golden Spike Playing Card, Copper Wire & Armour Plates

The Body
Embossed Aluminum Tape Background, Copper Wire, Armor Plates & Watch Parts

I made the Sleepers from Copper Wire that i flattened, then ran Copper Wire over the top to form the Rails

The Watch Parts for me represent the time that went into the design and construction of the railroad systems that have stood the test of time

The Railroad section of this blank was very time consuming, but i am very happy with the out come

Thanks for looking
C&C Welcome

When ordinary men try to put that many different things in a pen they look cheesy and overdone. The kitchen sink look. You are the only one that can pull it off and make a pen look so good. :2tsup:
