The 2026 Hornby catalogue with my cover illustration of Merchant Navy class, 35028 'Clan Line.' Lots of detail! #illustration #railways #trains #modelrailways #Hornby #ClanLine

I still think it would have worked better in the diamond! Original scamps... #EWS #railways #logo

These are very old now. A few Southern pencil drawings. #drawing #graphite #railways

How I draw ballast. Laborious!!😂

Still a favourite! A little bit of detail from my 4VEP illustration. I'm pretty sure that the SETG are still selling prints of this to raise funds for the restoration of 3417. @Gordon_3417 @DriverPotter

Eastleigh... #railways

A nice little package arrived from @LNER today (thank you!). My 'Swallow' print plus a couple of pins which were based on my illustrations, which was nice. No prints or pins available, unfortunately!

I'm working on the detailed, colour version of this over the weekend. Will be GNER livery on this one! A while yet before prints are available as I've a lot of other work on the go. #railways #BerwickUponTweed

Class 70, Eastleigh. Pen and ink drawing...

A bit of detail from another old one...

Little sketch...

Detail from an old one I did for @lner.co.uk ...

Some of my postcards picked up from the @LNER stand at The Greatest Gathering... What a terrific event that was!

Did anyone manage to pick up any of these at @greatestgather ? I designed these little pin badges for Angel Trains. They were giving them out as game prizes on their stand. A nice little set if you were able to get them! #railways #AngelTrains #trains

My new illustration for Pete Waterman's 'Making Tracks ' exhibition at Chester Cathedral, running from 24th July to 30th August! #illustration #rail200 #MakingTracks #railways #chestercathedral

Very nice at Theale just now...

Exquisitely captured by @tomconnellstudio.com, and for reasons I can't fully explain this might be my favourite piece of all of Tom's work. That loco, that setting, that style. Again 10/10, no notes 👌

Here are a few HSTs... (I still have prints available of the cloudy pair in the bottom centre image, available from my website, link in bio)... #railways #HST #trains

Might post a few of these 'work in progress' images from pictures past... #WIP #railways #class52

A couple of B&H 60s today... 60028 on 6Z52 at Newbury , and 60096 on 6Z23 at Pewsey. #class60 #railways

That thing where you end up using one of your own illustrations as reference material!...

Drag bike. Airbrush illustration from my archive... #illustration #Airbrush

Here's an old airbrush illustration I did for a children's book. Nigel Mansell's Indy 500 car...

Some of my prints. I'll be doing more posting on here from now on! 👍 #railways #illustration

Two pictures of the same loco, but with 50 years between them being created by my ageing self!! Scary!! #railways #painting #prints

I'll get this finished one day! A tiny bit here... #railways #paddington

Still my favourite of the @LNER Azuma posters. Here's a little section from Edinburgh. I was very tempted to put interesting things going on through some of those little windows!... #railways #Scotland #Edinburgh

Detail from my Hamburg illustration for Train Sim World 2... #illustration #railways #trainsimworld

2nd one from a few detailed illustration close-ups. This was for Grand Central Railway to mark the introduction of their proposed Euston to Blackpool passenger service.Due to Covid the service was never introduced, so the illustration was never used☹️ #illustration #railwayart #railways #trains
