Description
This unique book, combining a toy train and the printed word, was made by Peter Thomas. Thomas took five scrolls that tell the story of the arrival of the first train to Wichita, Kansas, and placed them inside the cab of the locomotive. It includes songs about the Santa Fe Railway on two of the scrolls, and every scroll was decorated with watercolor artwork by Donna Thomas.
