The latest work just off the drawing board.
This time a steam locomotive all the way from Brazil.
A Rede Ferroviaria Federal SA 2-10-2 No 201.
Methinks there is going to be some work involved in doing this one.
Sorry not the best photograph to start things off, but hopefully you get the feel for it. Had to take the photo indoors, because it was raining (yep that's right rain!!!) Will try and get a better one tomorrow.

That's a fantastic drawing - there are those who'd buy that, as well as a competed painting - but I'm looking forward to seeing this progress - you could do an ink version of your drawing and I'm quite sure it would sell as prints, it's so good.
It rained here, too - thank Heaven: the air is again breathable, and I should be able to sleep tonight rather that just lie there and perspire into my sheets.... unable to sleep and basically feeling as if the end were nigh....

Good to see another train Malcolm, the last one was a beauty. What size is this one? Looks like lots of fiddly detail!Hi Anth, This one is huge (well compared to my usual size anyway!!) as it's A3 all bar the small white border which you can see. As you say quite a lot of detail, which as I have said before is a problem of mine.

A super piece of art as it stands Malcolm I agree with Robert it would make great prints and cards etc . Looking forward to watching it develop I always enjoy seeing the progress.Thanks Paul, I will be working on this one at the Guild of Railway Artists summer exhibition which starts tomorrow (Sat 20th) at Kidderminster Railway Museum, where I will be spending some days as exhibition steward combined 'artist in residence' so it should hopefully progress reasonably quickly.

I know what you mean about the recent weather, although it's back to clear blue sky and sunshine this morning, mustn't complain eh!!

As most of you know by now, and if you don't why not? that I am a bit of a detail junkie (which believe it or not can be really frustrating) so here to show that I haven't changed (yet) is a close up of the front section of the loco showing where I am up to so far. Oh dear the things I do for fun. I don't mind when it works well.
