    Sometimes I am still amazed with the detail possible in FUD. A donkey engine was steam power plant used to skid logs out of the woods logging in the old days. I was playing around with Sketchup and it ended up with this:

    The smaller gear is less than 1/10 of an inch in diameter and has visible teeth. I think I'm afraid to try and paint it.
