Tucked away in undergrowth on the side of old Route 66 in Stroud is a collection of curious metalwork. There are a couple of skeletal cows, a cactus, and a child-sized train called the Lincoln County Express. It was the work of Paul Hicks, a pipeline welder who started creating this collection in the 1970s. Since his death in 2001 it has fallen into disrepair, but his family has plans to refurbish the train.
