My first painting project of the year, or at least the first one to be finished this year.
Great Western King Class Loco, King Henry VI near the end of its working life in the early 1960s, seen at Westbourne Park, having come off the ‘Cities United Express’. This was inspired by an uncredited (but possibly by R.C. Riley) photograph posted by Peter Quilley. The locomotive was one of the last four survivors of her class, withdrawn for scrapping at the end of 1962.
