Overview

Stephens creates garden railway settings entirely from natural botanical materials. One of his settings graces a track with seven G-scale trains in a display at the Mid-Ohio Valley Model Railroad in Parkersburg.

Stephens recently commissioned Applied Imagination for a personal project. He had them create the Parkersburg Train Depot, an 1883 landmark that was destroyed in 1973.

"This was my way of bringing the station back to Parkersburg. When I was a kid, my grandfather took me around the station. He was always crazy about trains," said Stephens.

Exhibit
This guy should exhibit at Grounds for sculpture in NJ. I think there are UK venues to that would love to show it.
