Zardoz's topic "Pullzer" gave me the idea for this topic. Thanks zardoz. [;)] <br /> <br />My parents, and many other people, enjoy putting puzzles together during the winter months. They have tons of puzzles they have put together. <br /> <br />This Christmas past I bought them a puzzle of a yellow PA unit (seems like there was a red stripe down the side also) pulling a passenger consists under a hiway bridge. There was a large stream under the bridge and the railroad tracks followed the stream to some extent. There was also a large rock formation and trees. <br /> <br />Years ago some friends of mine gave me a puzzle they had put together. They had framed it using rustic wood giving it an "old west" look. The train in the puzzle is Denver and Rio Grande Southern being pulled by steamer # 344(which appears to be a 2 8 0 or a 2 8 2). This is a passenger train but having a caboose. The steam plumb hides some of the cars but at least one car up front appears to be an old wooden boxcar. The train is tower by high canyon walls and follows a river until it goes over an old style wooden tressle. <br /> <br />Another train puzzle (I did this one [:D] ) I have is a New York Central J3A the stream-limed version. The loco number is 5451 and the tender is in the two tone gray scheme. A friend of mine was working at a frame shop when this one was finished and got it framed for me using his employee discount. It is professionally framed and matted, looks like a million dollars, but cost me just a little. <br /> <br />I am always looking for train puzzles. When they are ordered from a catalog they cost a bunch, when you can find one at a discount store or "dollar" store they are much cheaper. <br /> <br />Do you puzzle? Do you try to find train puzzles? Do you have them framed? <br />Which one is your favorite? Do you have more than one favorite? Do you now have a new idea to decorate your train room? lol [:D] [;)] [8D] [:p] [:)] <br />
