Certainly do. I love pictures of manmade stuff, especially when
machines were made with style. I absolutely love old handplanes (of
the type used for woodworking) the ornate embelishments on the 19th
century planes is fantastic!

I also love trains, so I'll look up Starcross and check into it.

Thanks!
