This very evocative, original pastel. Depicts steam train 35009, historically know as "Shaw Savill". On it's way to Barry Docks. Where it survived until the late 80's.
It's home now, is in Bury, Lancashire. Undergoing a complete overhaul.👏

The original mount had seen better days. So, a new overlay mount in "Ginger Root" was added. Still showing the original white lines.

And the most perfect moulding was added, around the original frame. An Italian one, from the "Anvil" range.(All from Larson-Juhl UK) Those rivets were just made for it! 😁
