The Train Game

Two girls hopped a ride on the midday freight train for an adventure riding the rails, but they had to be back home by dinner time or face parental wrath. The Train Game is a true story of two adventurous friends who thought riding the rails would make a good story for their college literary magazine. This book unfolds to 80 inches of train on one side and the story with photos of the experience on the inside. A real model train track is embedded on the front cover. All images are Giclée printed on Hahnemühle linen, the text is printed on Fox River Confetti, and the panels are hinged with acrylic stained Tyvek. Comes with matching clamshell case. Closed size is 3.5” x 10” x 1”. Edition of 50.

Book price with clamshell case is $350.
