Inspiration came from a visit to the Pickering Railway station and seeing the steam trains. I was considering making a child's bookend, but wanted to move away from the standard L shaped wooden ends.

Seeing the engines and tenders prompted the challenge, can I make a set of bookends using the engine and tender or carriages theme? I think this provides the answer!
