Coming back from their vaudeville show in Kalamazoo, Amber, Harp, and Tig found themselves stranded and despirately trying to get home. So, they followed the railroad tracks, hoping that it belonged to the ellusive Tigville train, the "Damfino". Soon, a blizzard blinded them from seeing the tracks, and after hours of losing hope, the Damfino shuttles out from behind a curtain of mist and snow.

Sorry for how big the thing is, I didn't want to lose any detail. I've always wanted to do a snowy train scene, and I've also always wanted to draw Buster Keaton's train from the film "The General", this is as close as I could get to the train without going insane from all the extra details. The characters were shrunk, colored and then added into the train scene. Yeh, I know, it's like a scene out of the "Polar Express" or something, but seeing as how I've never read the book or saw the film, this is fairly original. lol

EDIT: sorry.. the smudged tree (far left) still looks bad, but it's a lil better than before. I couldnt stand having the ENGLAND label being so messy, or bright when it's foggy, so i fixed that. Added a few brass bolts and corners to the steamer trunk to make it look older (Tig painted the giant words on the side, though it looks like some 1980s graffiti.. oops). Basically just cleaned it up a little.
