A corner of the Rust & Steel Train Maintenance facilities.

Hi all, I hope you're doing well!

This pic shows a corner of the Rust & Steel Train Maintenance facilities. 

Here, old, disused toy trains arrive for inspection, before going into storage or display. Many will star in fotoshoots that will show their intrinsic beauty to full effect. 

Note that one of the train tracks has three rails instead of two. That's because it's meant for trains that run on electricity

Some are in very poor condition: rusty, bended, mangled, and unable to move due to being rusted up, or missing vital parts like wheels, or having broken engines.

But, despite their derelict state, they're welcome at the facilities. In fact, they are selected because of it! Because I believe in the beauty of imperfection, and the charm of the touch of Time.


Thanks for visiting, and see you next time!
