Default Unconventional Project Off Topic

My Uncle is a Railfan and model railroader (another sickness) and is a former Navy Chief and Machinist Mate. One of his buddies has been working this project for a number of years. The dedication of the builder Earl is just incredible. I know there are more like him but fewer everyday. My uncle works in smaller scales like HO. This is a little bigger than that (not even sure if they go by scale or track gage at this size) and actual live steam. You can even see the fire in the fire box. Everything possible is hand built on this New York Central Mohawk 4-8-2.
Just amazing and it runs!
