Text for the above items :

Castle on the Coast by David Weston.

This sunny picture is reproduced to the same size as the original and features the Great Western locomotive No.5011 Tintagel Castle leaving Teignmouth.

Published in 1980, these old prints have slight border damage due to their age.


Swindon Pride by David Weston.

The great days of the Great Western Railway are vividly recalled in this evocation of Swindon in the late thirties. Beautifully polished and powerful locomotives are made ready for the road in the Swindon Yard, whilst the locomotive inspector, together with a proud and equally fastidious Driver, does a final check on King Edward I.


Scotsman on the Coast by David Weston.

The Flying Scotsman.


The Duchess of Hamilton by David Weston.

In 1989 David Weston was invited by the National Railway Museum to paint a picture recording the restoration in the Museums workshop of Staniers The Duchess of Hamilton.


Great Western Splendour by David Weston.

The Great Westerns true splendour lay in both the design and condition of their magnificent fleet of express locomotives. The setting is the Didcot yard and shed sometime in the late 1940s with the superb Castle Class locomotive No.5069 Isambrad Kingdom Brunel ready for the road, alive with steam and latent power. A 2-6-2 tank engine simmers alongside to make an evocative scene of the Great Western Railway at its very best.


Steam at Top Shed by David Weston.

Depicts the A4 locomotive Quicksilver together with the A1s Kestrel and Alcazar and an A3 in the background outside the Top Shed at Kings Cross.


Arrival at York by David Weston

Sir Nigel Gresleys beautiful A4 Pacific Class Locomotive Silver Link is seen arriving amidst the sunlit splendour of Yorks elegant Station.


Duchess of Sutherland by David Weston.

Designed by William Stanier and built in 1938 for the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, the Duchess of Sutherland ran 1,650,000 miles - the second highest mileage by any Coronation Class train - during its 25 years of service. Retiring from service in 1964, the engine passed between owners before being restored to working order in 2001, and becoming the first steam locomotive to haul the Royal Train for 35 years in 2002, transporting Queen Elizabeth II on a tour to North Wales as part of her Golden Jubilee.
Unsigned part of the edition of 750 prints.


Iron Duke at Dent by David Weston.

The magnificent railway line, now spared, threads its way across the moorland, which can change so rapidly from beautiful and serene to bleak and forbidding.


Country Weekend by David Weston.

A 3.5 Litre Rolls Royce Phantom Continental and a sporty 1935 Lagonda at a quiet country branch station awaiting guests for a weekend party at a nearby country house. A Great Northern J6 0-6-0 loco stands at the platform before pottering on to its next stop down the line.


Deltic by David Weston.

1961 saw the arrival of the first Deltic Diesel locomotives which soon made considerable impact on the London North Eastern Region of British Rail with speeds regularly in excess of 100mph. This painting features the locomotive D9002 Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, one of only 23 of this type built. The beautiful high arc of York Station provides a fitting frame and handsome background.


Rocket at Edge Hill by David Weston.

This painting was specially commissioned to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the first steam passenger train service. The superb print features Stephensons Rocket and a Planet Class engine at Edge Hill on the famous Liverpool - Manchester Railway.


Timber Drag by David Weston.

The scene typifies a part of the English rural tradition common until the coming of steam power and then the internal combustion engine when the old crafts of the forest finally disappeared for good.


Golden Arrow by David Weston.

In 1929 the Southern Railway introduced the all-Pulman Golden Arrow service between Victoria and Dover, to connect with the French Fleche dOr train. The train shown here if the Lord Nelson Class no.859 Lord Hood at the head of a train in Victoria Station, during the early 1930s.
