bridges and wheels

 

The railway’s £1 million pound Bridge and Wheels Appeal continues with an exciting pair of exhibitions.

The worn-out bridge 30 just north of Goathland has been replaced this winter, but much of the money is still to be raised... also for the crucial overhaul of locomotive 80135.

As the railway's Artist In Residence I’ve so far raised over £1000 with the sale of prints and an original painting. Now we could all raise another £20,000 if I can sell 500 prints of each of four paintings of bridge 30, as well as the originals (see prices below).
There’s a discount for buying a full set of four prints!

No.1 We're Banking on You...

...pounding up the bank towards the old bridge 30, in the Autumn of its years, comes a freight special hauled by our much-loved workhorse, BR Standard Tank 80135.

No.2 The Darkest Hour...

...celebrity home-based A4 Sir Nigel Gresley hauled the last ever passenger train over the old bridge one stormy night in November 2009. I was there to capture the historic moment in a way that modern electronic cameras simply couldn't manage in the darkness.

No.3 Up Lifting...

...a high-tech modern crane lifts out the central span. Our painting shows the fascinating work in progress in an image that tells of heavy engineering on stunningly natural surroundings. A rare subject for a painting, but an engineering subject in the tradition of Terence Cuneo.

No.4 Home and Dry...

...high above the frothing beck, the first passenger train over the brand new bridge completes the set of four pictures from four different view-points which make a unique and attractive set.

Each print is an art-quality giclee print on Hahnemeule German Etching fine art paper, printed with inks guaranteed not to fade for 100 years - a quality investment.
