The engine

Bring your place

Your photograph, painted by the schools that sold travel. The quay stays your quay: the same houses, the same headland, the light from the side it fell on that afternoon. Only the way it’s painted changes.

Some renders miss. A tower leans, a harbour loses a house. That’s why looking is free, and why we only print the one you chose.

Coast Line 1931 · departs 19:31

Your coast, as the 1931 railway sold it

Four passes on the house. A pass paints your place twice: the poster and the postcard. Your photograph goes to the engine twice, once per shape, and is not kept. No face is painted large: people in the view become small figures. No airline, railway, ship or hotel name or mark is ever painted in.

Coast Line 1931

A sample place, painted by the same call your photograph gets. Yours replaces it.

The platforms

Four lines, twelve schools

Every school is shown on the same two places, Harbour Town and Lake Village, so you can watch the school change and the place stay put. Hover a sheet to see the other one.

Same pass, wider

The postcard comes too

Every pass paints your place twice: the upright poster and a wide postcard, three by two, from the same photograph. The postcard hangs over a sofa. Three of them, dealt fresh for every visitor.

Three of eighty-eight. Every style has its still, and the toggle above the picker renders yours.

The itinerary

Photograph in, poster out

  1. One photograph of a place. A street, a harbour, a coast, a skyline, a view from a window. Phone photos are fine. People in it become small figures; a photograph with no place in it is refused before anything is counted.
  2. One school. The recipe that painted the sample places on the wall is run on yours. The prompt is built on the server, so what comes back is the school you chose.
  3. Twenty to sixty seconds. The poster lands at 1024 × 1536 and the postcard at 1536 × 1024. Keep it as a file, or buy it as a print up to 40 × 60″, rebuilt at print resolution the moment you pay.
  4. The name of the place. The engine paints no lettering, so the type desk sets it: the place, one line, a year, in a face chosen for the school. A company or carrier name is the one thing it refuses.
Lake Village painted in the Alpine Lithograph 1925 school: chalets and a white church spire on a still lake under a snow peak, framed with a white mount
Lake Village · Alpine Lithograph 1925 · 16 × 24″, from $85

Paper, canvas, or edge to edge across a sweatshirt. It’s the same render at print resolution, and every render you kept waits on your wall, so ordering one again is a single click: no second upload, no second render.
