Here is my latest work, just off the drawing board. This time one of my favourite 'modern' locomotives from the early 1960's a Class 52 Western diesel (named 'Champion'). This one resides at the Severn Valley Railway and is seen here near the Engine House stop between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth. A lovely spot where the track snakes through the countryside and makes for a good scene for a painting (well I think so)!!!

They were modern once Malcom! Which livery will she be in?
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Well you think so (good scene for a painting), and you're right.  As ever, looking forward to seeing where your train takes you.

Peter, I am doing it in the livery she is in currently at SVR and that is the BR blue with the yellow front panel around the numbers. Malcolm

Nothing like a bit of blood and custard to brighten a picture!

A bit of an update on the progress on this painting. Slow but steady is the best I can say.

Looking good Malcom - of course a steam loco would have been there by now!
