The painting has really got me thinking........

The town is Cazadaro in the coastal mountains north of San Francisco California.....

I wasn't going to pull out the train set till the end of RC flying season but the locomotive turn around in the painting of Cazadero has got me falling off the wagon....addiction wise

I'm going to need Niel's Dr. Who Tardis for time travel now that I'm sandwiching a 19th century feature between two 20th century features......oh well..
