Beautifully painted Malcolm with such great detail.

'Working Hard,' I imagine, refers as much to the artist as to the subject - but well worth the effort. The crisp lines and the detail are just stunning.

Lovely, superb detail and can tell it was painted with a lot of admiration for these wonderful old steam engines

Amazing portrayal of the light on the engine. Excellent

Superb artwork, a detailed painting at its best, lots to look at but certainly not overdone.

I love this - well observed. I particularly admire all the straight lines in the structure - something I find hard to do.

'Hilda' an 0-4-0 Saddle Tank engine built in 1938 working hard towards the end of her life at the ex Cafferata & Co (Later British Gypsum) works in Newark.
