With her cylinder cocks open ex-GWR Castle Class 5058 “Earl of Clancarty” has the “Right away” with a Down express sometime in the 1950s. The beautiful condition of the locomotive is typical of the Western region of British Railways at the time when little had seemed to change after Nationalisation of the railway since the days of the Great Western Railway and men still carried the pride they felt in that company.
A painting like this of your favourite locomotive, British or American, in oils on canvas or board would cost about £2000.

Mike-An image worthy of comparison with Cuneo or Heiron! Wonderful!
I painted this about 25 years ago so perhaps I’d do better to go back to this style after a fine comment like that my dear friend!

Magical work Mike.
Thanks again Don, my loyal fan!

Wonderful piece Mike – brings a tear to the eye, back to days of freezing at Gloucester Eastgate just for a glimpse of Horton Road’s resident Clun Castle – gawd Railways are so boring now !!!
How I agree with that sentiment Terry.
– Mike Jeffries
More great work Mike. It wasn’t known as Gods Wonderful Railway for nothing
David
Thanks Dave, they knew how to run a railway in those days, I no longer feel safe on the ramshackle modern railway where all the pride in the job that existed before has been eroded by shoddy management and overpaid consultants whose quaint ideas on how to run a railway were discredited over a 150 years ago.
