Ex-LMS Jubilee at Lime Street

IF YOU LIKE THIS IMAGE PLEASE DO LEAVE A COMMENT.Ex-LMS Jubilee 4-6-0 45670 “Earl of Effingham” waits impatiently at Liverpool, Lime Street station with an express for London, Euston sometime in the late 1950s. Ahead of the crew is an arduous climb through the tunnels and cuttings of the main line out of Liverpool but their steed is one of Stanier’s masterpieces of locomotive design and well up to the job. I remember the graceful Jubilees well but only ever fired one once in my railway career and that was on a Bradford-Bournemouth express from Birmingham New Street to Bristol Temple Meads back in 1957 and we hit 90mph though Ashchurch-—- happy days indeed! The stored computer image of this painting is not of a high enough resolution to be reproduced as a print for sale but the image is shown here merely as an example of my work. The original painting was done about six years ago on a canvas 48”x36” in acrylic and cost the client £1500, nowadays I would paint this in oils and it would cost nearer £3000. Commissions?

Your art is stunning Mike! I especially like this piece. when I was a child I used to take the train often from the suburb to Paris and the locomotives were steam engines and it was beautiful, smelled like burning coals and dripped moisture under the wheels.... Great art, lovely piece.

VERY AMAZING PAINTING, MIKE. WOW.

Artist Reply: Thank you Sharon, these locomotives were very graceful in the flesh which I've tried to get across in this painting.
