I document Central European rail heritage with the precision it deserves. My work is scholarly in approach—each frame researched, each locomotive's provenance traced. I pair archival fabrics with these machines because both deserve preservation. The Class 498.1 streamliners represent Bauhaus ideals made mobile; the T478.3 diesels embody socialist-era industrial pragmatism. I'm not here to perform—I'm here to archive beauty before it vanishes. My patrons appreciate meticulous historical documentation. They understand that a well-composed photograph of riveted steel and period couture is worth more than a thousand Instagram selfies.

The Streamliner Collection

Class 498.1 "Albatros" streamliner, Praha hlavní nádraží. Built 1936, withdrawn 1974, restored 1998. Art deco-period burgundy velvet selected for historical accuracy against original chrome trim. This collection documents the Bauhaus influence on Czechoslovak locomotive design—aerodynamic fairings, passenger comfort innovations, the optimism of interwar modernism. Technical notes included on boiler pressure modifications and streamlining effectiveness. Archive-grade documentation.
