I have to agree with Todd, I was totally blown away when I saw those pictures! I actually had to wait till I was more awake and look at them again before I would believe what I saw.

		The Royal Train - Controls
James, Thanks! This may take a while but I'll get some close-ups of the controls and mechanisms the next time I do a shoot.
