THE TRAIN SHOW- Background New York Times Train Story, Nov. 16, 2004
Steve Heller, Fabulous Furniture My grandson and I were returning home from a weekend at a monastery (cut short) when we passed by Steve's roadside show. We did a double take and screeched to a halt.
It isn't this piece that is rolling into the Train show, but a dinosaur on wheels.

The week of Oct 20th to the 24th,2003, VAL worked the long tunnel at the New Brunswick Train Station like an open classroom.In 80 ft walk through tunnel at the New Brunswick Train Station a double sided mural
project was created in honor of The New Brunswick Train Stations 100th year birthday.During the 5 months it was in place we have laminated all the children's trains on the opposite wall!

On one side of the hall, teacher Freda Rhodes and her students at Paul Robeson School created a long line of trains: The Happy Birthday N.J. Transit Line!
VAL spread out a roll of paper along 70 ft on the opposite
side.
A kind of graffiti mural, (minus the spray paint!!)..inviting participation.We jump started the theme using the words from songs by John Lennon & Cat Stevens. As commuters came through the space, in a rush, they were welcomed to make their mark and add their words.
A selection of pipes from "Pipe Dreams, NJ merges with The Great Pipe
Dream, NZ" lined the front of the Station for the week.
