Artist's Description
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 Railway�s works at Derby were further enhanced by the wonderful Crimson Lake livery.

Painted for a client in acrylics on board 20″�30″ about 10 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.

He is without a doubt THE lorry...
