Thanks.

He made a 14"x10" color painting based on a 1950's era B&W photo of a Gainesville Midland SG Decapod 203 pulling a short train of one narrow gauge right of way. The only deviation from the photo was making it engine number 209 (to try to get Gainesville Georgia citizens to buy the book). 209 is the display loco in Gainesville GA the City loves.

I might be selling the original. Coker was great to work with, did great work, and I was just thinking about him.
