Description
**Watermark Not On Final Print**
I love how the steel cylinders, the cast iron drive wheel and the brass crank pin all come together to form a beautifully balanced image. At the top of the image is a leaf spring to round out the image.
For those train lovers, this is a rare 1911 310-series Hrboun (humpback) locomotive made by the Czech-Moravian Machinery Joint-Stock Company in Prague. At one time, this locomotive was used in central and eastern Europe.
This particular locomotive was withdrawn from service in the early 1950s and is now located in the National Technical Museum in Prague.
