American Art Deco trains | Train Journeys of the World. The Streamliners!. From the 19th-century, clunky-looking steam engines to the sleek, streamlined 20th-century look, emoting speed and progress in the machine age! Initially the streamline steel was put over the older steam engines, then later oil and diesel units were built. Designers Raymond Loewy and Henry Dreyfus were instrumental in some of the designs. The lavish, opulent Art Deco style emerged as a reaction to that grim, austere mindset that was forced to cope with the first World War.
The style owes much to Italian Futurism where geometric shapes and intense colors were combined and juxtaposed in simplified and subtly distorted abstractions that signaled a new world of commerce improved by efficiency and speed. When LMS attempted to compete with LNER's A4 Class in the 1930's, they came up with this 'Americanized' design, which, in the end proved to be unsuccessful.

For my table top I used this project panel from Lowe’s and I LOVE it! That is it! To finish his desk I used my very favorite… This is my favorite.
