Number 6 Tank Engine Beside a Little Station Building

A small steam engine with a friendly smiling face sits on a curving track in front of a little station building. The engine has a round boiler, a short chimney, a square dome and box on top, and a number 6 on the side of its cab. Behind the station on the left, a second engine with a boxy cab and a sly, grinning face waits on another line. The building has two arched windows with flower boxes full of blooms, and a slanted roof with a scalloped trim along the edge. Small stones and wooden sleepers line the tracks in the foreground. Try giving the two engines different color schemes so their moods stand out, then pick bright colors for the flowers in the window boxes. It is also a nice chance to talk about the number 6 and count the windows and wheels together.
