Right of the locomotive: a brown-sided passenger carriage. The frontier-town background (wooden buildings, desert, blue sky) fills the rest of the scene. Entry button: a large dark charcoal circular button in the lower-center, featuring the Reel Kingdom brand mark (a gorilla wearing a gold crown, inside a circular-arrow spin icon).
