If it isn't obvious enough from my username, I love trains, and in a lot of cases, the history that goes with them. Trains have been around for a long time, and the Rocket is one of the earliest prototype steam engines that set the bar for rail travel for years to come.

I found this model in a book a while ago. All I had to do was punch out the pieces fold them, glue them together (You know, like putting a cube, cone, cylinder, etc in geometry class).

Sadly, the real thing has fallen apart on me, and some of the pieces were lost, so this is a picture of another picture I took of it a while ago. If given the chance, I wwwould make another one, and if anyone knows where I can get one like this, please let me know.
