EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour painting captures the majesty and power of LMS Princess Coronation Class No. 46257, nicknamed "City of Salford," as it gracefully hauls the Mid-day Scot train through the English countryside. The locomotive, adorned with intricate details and vibrant colors, is shown passing the Shap Summit signal box, a historic landmark on the West Coast Main Line. The LMS Princess Coronation Class, designed by Sir William Stanier, was introduced in 1937 and was one of the most powerful and elegant steam locomotive classes in the world. No. 46257, in particular, was notable for its distinctive green livery and the city crest of Salford, Greater Manchester, which adorned its tender. The Mid-day Scot was a popular express passenger train that ran between Glasgow and London, passing through some of the most beautiful and scenic areas of Scotland and England. The train, which operated from the 1920s until the 1960s, was a symbol of the golden age of rail travel, offering passengers a comfortable and luxurious journey. In this painting by renowned railway artist Alan Anderson, the steam locomotive is shown in full flow, belching out plumes of smoke as it climbs the Shap Summit, one of the most challenging sections of the West Coast Main Line. The signal box, perched atop the summit, stands as a testament to the engineering feats of the past, adding to the sense of history and nostalgia. This watercolour painting is not only a beautiful work of art but also a reminder of the golden age of steam rail travel and the iconic locomotives and trains that defined it. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and dynamic composition make it a must-have for any railway enthusiast or art collector.
