Description
This is a sight that could not have been seen in steam days on Britain’s railways, an Eastern Region Gresley A1 Pacific on the hallowed metals of the Western Region-—-——-unthinkable, but this is 1994 when the World’s most famous locomotive “Flying Scotsman” paid a visit to the privately preserved Paignton-Kingswear branch line.Nevertheless it makes a fine sight in the later British Railways Brunswick Green livery and fitted with German-type smoke deflectors, currently it sports LNER Apple Green and the smoke deflectors have been removed.
In the background across the River Dart lies Dartmouth, the town with a railway station but no trains, but that’s another story.
An oil painting like this on board or canvas 20”x30” of your favourite railway subject, British, American or even French, would cost from £1500.

Nice work, this is in late B.R days you can tell from by the logo on the tender, also this locomotive during it's upgrade it has been fitted with German smoke deflectors and double funnel to help it's performance!
Overall it's a brilliant picture it makes you wish that these's locomotives where back!

And if you're going to have the smoke deflectors, this is how I want to see it! In B.R. Brunswick.

Strangely enough I think the German type smoke deflectors somehow added quite an elegant touch to Gresley's design and having seen "Flying Scotsman" in Apple Green and in the form here I know what I prefer but the purists wouldn't like it.

Many thanks Dennis, I love your enthusiasiam for railways, some 40 years ago or more I painted quite a few pictures of American and Canadian locomotives to sell in the USA but I have hardly any record of them, somebody must own them, I was paid well, but this was long before the internet but who knows they might turn up!

As an old trainspotter I really want to fav them all. Remarkable work. The last time I admired paintings of this quality they had been painted by David Shepperd.

Yeah, and animals like elephants and big cats. I seen some of his drawings once he did of the C130 military aircraft. Brilliant! But his locomotives are stunning like yours.
