Luxury trains will never go out in style, and no matter how much time has passed by, I think a grand luxurious ride aboard a timeless train carriage can always bring back the bygone days. This is what I'd imagine it might be like :)

The actual train itself that I've based this piece on is the world famous Venice Simplon-Orient-Express and travels through a number of exotic locations from London all the way to Istanbul. Throughout time, the carriages of this luxury train have been bombed, shot at and even marooned in snow drifts, and not to mention that is has also transported quite a few historically famous characters. You can read more about it here: [link]

WIPs for this piece can be seen here:
Orient Express - WIP I
Orient Express - WIP II

Anyways, hope you guys like it :)
