This elegant Locomotive, built in Doncaster in 1870 for the Great Northern Railway to a design by Patrick Stirling
is normally a static exhibit at the National Railway Museum, but it became the first real locomotive to star in a
stage version of Edith Nesbit's 'Railway Children' when it was staged at the museum by York Theatre Royal in 2008.
The painting is on a canvas block 51 cm deep and 76 cm wide and is for sale.
