Don,
That representation of the word google, as a futuristic vehicle, is quite Lowey-ist !.
What I was trying to say is that most people looking at wouldn't be able to relate to what it was representing. Let's face it, a good portion of our population never saw a train like this. Some might be so young and have only seen a train in schoolbooks, in a movie, or on TV.... To me, they are a thing of beauty and more modern than anything today. Back then they could add cost to make things look good, today, it's cut the costs at the expense of appearance.
