When AK-Interactive asked me if I’d be interested in this pancake train from them, I wasn’t sure. Never heard about it before, so I typed it into Google and immediately found the perfect reference image – a rusty rail shunter rotting away somewhere in an old train yard. Perfection!

I replicated the reference photo almost to the last detail. The concrete bumper behind the train, the tall grasses, my only artistic license was the tall lamp post and random garbage accompanied with animals.
