Yet another oil painting of a steam locomotive. This time we’re in about 1912 or so, and one ofg the (then) new Midland Railway compounds is pulling a train of clerestory stock.

Another painting in the style of old ‘Hornby Book of Trains’ Catalogue covers. This one is well and truly in the Hornby Dublo era of the 60’s A similar loco, but as scene in the pre-war era can be seen in ‘Duchess at Speed’. / I like to contrast the two paintings, both inspired by the general style of those old Hornby catalogues.

Wherever I may roam, / whatever places I may see – / this landscape of my childhood / will always be / the most beautiful place on earth / to me. I had the geat privilege of growing up on this beautiful sugar-cane farm in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, South Africa. This land has been in my family since 1856, and is very close to my heart. The Dutch name “Mooiplaats” means “beautiful place”.

Taken a few miles east of Leicester, near Allexton. Its that time in the UK, just before the wheat gets harvested – heavy heads beginning to nod gently under the weight of the grain, and the weather unable to decide whether it is summer or not, threatening to flatten the crop, just it is ready. Leicestershire is full of distant horizons like this, and the Barley is all but in now, much of the ground already having been put under the plough in readiness for the next crop.

Tight crop due to foreground clutter, but i think it works quite well

I took this photo a few years ago on my little Canon A60 Powershot only 2. mega pixels, But thought it was not a bad shot & decided to post it. I think the pic looks better viewed in large mode.:-) London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Princess Coronation Class 6233 Duchess of Sutherland is a preserved steam locomotive. 6233 was outshopped in July 1938 from Crewe Works and was part of the third batch of her class. These were unstreamlined, painted in LMS standard crimson lake livery and had a single chimney and no smoke deflectors and an estimated cost of £13,800 each. Service. 6233 was initially allocated to Camden, London. She acquired a double chimney in March 1941 and because of drifting smoke acquired smoke deflectors in September 1945 before being painted in postwar LMS black livery in September 1946. With the creation of British Railways on 1st January 1948 she was allocated to Crewe North depot. She was given her BR number 46233 in October 1948 and repainted in BR Brunswick green livery in 1952 or early 1953. In June 1958 she was allocated to Carlisle Upperby before eventually being withdrawn from Edge Hill depot in February 1964. Preservation. Following her withdrawal from service she was acquired by Butlins Heads-of-Ayr holiday camp, Scotland in October 1964. Later moved to Bressingham Steam Museum she was subsequently acquired by The Princess Royal Class Locomotive Trust and restored to working order at the Midland Railway Butterley. To allow her to run on the mainline in preservation she has been fitted with Train Protection & Warning System (TPWS) and on-train monitoring recorder (OTMR) equipment, alongside the BR fitted Automatic Warning System (AWS). Royal Train. On 11 June 2002, the restored Duchess was the first steam locomotive to haul the Royal Train for 35 years, transporting Queen Elizabeth II on a tour to North Wales, from Holyhead to Llandudno Junction, as part of her Golden Jubilee. The trip also marked the 160th anniversary of the first Royal train in 1842. On 22nd March 2005 the Duchess again hauled the Royal Train, the second time for a steam locomotive in 40 years, transporting The Prince of Wales from Settle to Carlisle over the Settle-Carlisle Railway. The trip marked the 25th anniversary of the formation of the ‘Friends of the Settle and Carlisle’ pressure group. On the trip, the Prince spent a 15 minute spell behind the controls of 6233.

Taken around the Southern parts of the Midlands Highway, Tasmania, not far from Kempton. I noticed the trees on the hill and the fog sitting near by. This caused me to stop and turn around to go back. Also to climb a barbwire fence to get in beyond the trees that bordered the paddock and hillside. I think it was worth it.

A Magic Place For Me Is The Midland Railway Centre As I Love Old Steam Trains!! / 73129 History. / Photo Take At Butterley Midland Railway Centre.Derbyshire. / British Railways standard class 5 No. 73129 is a preserved British steam locomotive. It is the only surviving Standard Class 5 built by British Railways which was fitted with Caprotti valve gear. 73129 was outshopped from Derby Works in August 1956. It was one of 30 built fitted with Caprotti valve gear. Originally allocated at Shrewsbury Shed (which required the fitting of GWR style lamp brackets), it was later transferred to Patricroft Shed (near Manchester) in 1958. It spent the rest of its working life there until it was stored at Patricroft from June to November 1967. It was officially withdrawn from traffic on 2 December 1967. During 73129’s working life, it covered roughly 198,359 miles – the majority in 1957 with 35,814 miles that year. Restoration was started at The Midland Railway Centre Butterley Derbyshire on a limited scale on 73129 shortly after it arrived there in 1975 although work began to tail off in around 1985. Another small attempt to restart the restoration was tried in 1992 although minimal work was carried out due to lack of financial and human resources. In late 1993, restoration began in earnest. This took over a decade. The first fire in 73129’s firebox since 1967 was lit at 3.25pm on the 22nd February 2004. Steam locomotives 92214, 80098, 47357 and Peckett 1163 “Whitehead” were all in attendace, all whistling when smoke first appeared from 73129’s chimney. /

Diesel D212 at Butterley Midland Railway Centre. / Derbyshire.UK D212 Aureol / The loco arrived at the Midland Railway Centre on the 3rd March 1989, with the first working party taking place on Sunday 5th March. The full restoration of the loco took just over four years to complete but well worth every hour that was spent on her. So unlike the ship she is named after, this Aureol survives today and is owned by the Class 40 Appeal and is based at the Midland Railway Centre and is often used on a wide variety of services there and frequently appears at various gala events on heritage railways across the UK. /

Arguably one of the most graceful locomotives ever to have run on rails this class of 4-2-2 express engine designed by Johnson and built at the Midland Railways works at Derby were further enhanced by the wonderful Crimson Lake livery. The single driver enjoyed a brief period of popularity in the 1890s due to the recent development of the steam sander which helped adhesion on starting from rest but growing train weights led designers to revert to coupled wheel-sets, but lacking the fricton of coupling rods the single had a superior free running capability which made for economy on coal. Painted for a client in acylics on board 20”x30” about 8 years ago, today I’d use oils to exploit the colour of the loco and fade off the distance more and perhaps soften the smoke. Commissions?

When the Birmingham -London section of the M1,one of Britain’s first motorways, opened in 1959 the forward looking,dynamic Midland Red company lost no time in introducucing the country’s first motorway express coach service with specially built vehicles based on their existing C5 design. These handsome machines were fitted with torbo-chargers and capable of 100mph [this is long before the blanket 70mph max.] which they needed to be in view of the tight schedule. The motorway proper in those days didn’t start until just outside Coventry and finished at Watford Gap so drivers had to fight their way at both ends of the journey though normal roads beset by roadworks and other traffic to keep to time. The C5s in their dotage were later converted for bus duties so had their turbo-chargers removed to avoid the temptation of 100mph service buses! This painting in oils on canvas 20”x30” and much enhanced with sharper detail is for sale at £1000. See my web-site for contact details www.transportartist.co.uk

My latest creation. It’s a little terraced house that we are renting, while we wait to move into a little thatched cottage a few miles away. It’s very narrow with a large bay window on to the street. When I’m sitting here I feel like I’m trapped in a fallen over chest of drawers or a goldfish bowl. We brought the TV from our last home which was big enough to justify it. You can see from the picture that it’s way too big for the room. When we are watching the TV at dusk with the blinds open, I’m pretty sure people 300 yards down the road can watch it.
