Tiny Details

Joe Martin gets a first look and the newly donated Adler model built by Szymon Klimek. Mr. Martin selected Szymon for an award based on seeing photos of his work. After seeing an actual example in person he was sure the right choice was made. Photos do not do justice to the quality and delicate detail of these superb models.
In November, 2009, Szymon Klimek shipped an example of some of his finest work as a donation to the Joe Martin Foundation Craftsmanship Museum in Vista, CA. The Adler 2-2-2 Locomotive comes from the early days of steam and pulled Germany's first commercial trains. Designed by Stephenson in England, the train was in service for 20 years starting in 1835 before eventually being replaced by more modern locomotives. A replica of the engine is now being restored in Germany for the DB Museum Nuremberg.
