Seattle Times Pictures of the Year 2010

Aug. 18: Nick Buell built this Pacific class 4-6-2 engine from scratch over five years. It??s 1/8 scale and modeled on one that the Southern Pacific ran. "Nick Buell's love of steam trains began when he was a youngster in Wenatchee. His skill as a machinist allowed him to build this smaller replica with its half-ton engine. He operates it with the Kitsap Live Steamers club in a Port Orchard park." - Alan Berner
