Hi everyone, you've got to check out this really neat locomotive stone carving.

The engine is Indiana limestone, the tracks are sandstone, and the mountain with tunnel is red lava rock.  They start at $1200.00 for limestone engine, two cars, and the sandstone track.  Landscapes are addittional depending on material used.  Just about any train can be carved.  They can also be carved from marble, alabaster, and soapstone, but are a bit more in price.

Was this post supposed to contain a photo or something?

I don't know what's with that posting...

It does contain a link http://www.nickscarvings.com/portfolio2.html to a train somebody carved out of limestone. Pretty cool.

Interesting. Seems to be an ad.

They look very nice and well done I could use the rocks but the rest of it; to what end?
