Description

I bought this at Brambleton Model Exhibition, Harpenden, St.Albans, Hertfordshire. It is a replica but, it is very cool and now sits on my wall with my other steam locomotive art.

On the back it says this.

CLEAR ROAD THROUGH RETFORD

From a painting by Philip Hawkins

London, North Eastern Railway class C1 Atlantic No. 4444 speeding southward through Retford, Nottinghamshire heading a Leeds - Kings Cross express during the mid thirties. She was one of a class of 94 locomotives designed by H. A. Ivatt for the Great Northern Railway.

The first one was built at Doncaster in 1902 with No. 4444 (as 1444) emerging in May 1908 and was withdrawn from service by the L.N.E.R. in October 1945. One of these engines G.N.R. No. 251 is preserved as part of the National Collection.
