Old fashioned model train with red paneled front, black body, and green cabin with yellow details. On a black train track that is inside a tropical setting, next to a leafy green tree with large oval shaped yellow orbrs. On the other side of the train are bright red leaves in clusters with large green leaves under them and yellow centers. This is all under a small bit of blue sky visible from a glass ceiling with white metal ribbing.
