A very early painting of mine from the early seventies of one of my favourite locomotives the Stanier designed 4.6.0 Jubilee class for the old London, Midland and Scottish railway seen leaving Liverpool sometime in the late 1930s with an up express for London. The locomotive is carrying the original flat-sided Fowler design of tender not the more usual Stanier version, in fact some early Jubilees were paired with these right to the end of steam in the sixties but most were replaced by tenders from withdrawn Black Fives or 8Fs.
A painting like this of your favourite vehicle, British or American, in oils on canvas or board would cost about £2000.

Great picture,Mike, Jubilees were my favourite too. I especially remember that kind of staccato roar they made when they were accelerating up a slight incline.
Thank you Tom, yes they had that beat you only get from a three-cylinder engine, I see you have a serious case of the steam bug too!
Bliss on rails…As good as it is to see ’em in steam and working. this sort of image hauls up all the memories of seeing them go by with a train load of holiday bound passengers……….oh nice work……….

Beautiful painting, Mike.
Thank you James, I love Jubilees, they always had that long-legged look compared to a Black Five.
