    This was my winter project > I was interested in creating a Smoker BBQ styled after a Steam Train
    Here are some of the photos of the process

    I can't believe how real it looks! How long did it take to complete this build?

    I think I spend about 220 hours in the design cutting and welding of the train.
    My goal was to make it look authentic as possible. The fire box and cab area of the train are double walled with 2500 Degree insulation sandwiched between the walls. I had the train weighed it the I sent it to be powered coated and it toped the scale ate 3140 pounds. Not much chance of someone taking it from my back yard when I am not home.

    I think it's great, weighing in at 3100 lbs makes it awesome. Very nice work
