Hello Grant,

Fantastic! It's a lovely loco and it sounds like it was involved in a proper bit of railroading.

As always, your railway is a great source of inspiration.

Well Chris, I had to look David Shepherd up. A similar vein to some of Terence Cuneo's paintings I thought.
Thank you.

My favourite painting by Cuneo is the 'Running Sheds of the Great Caerphilly and Vole-tail Central Railway'. A large sized, signed print hangs in front of me now as constant inspiration for my slightly unusual interpretation of steam engines.

An electric rat, sometimes makes an appearance at the BGRA, and a black cat has been known to run round certain G scale layouts..
