Helston Rails

A little painting of a big project. The Helston Railway in Cornwall is a heritage railway under construction. The image shows some of the recently re-lain track on "the Britain's most southerly railway", as seen from a guard van ride behind a Ruston Shunter. From a photograph that I took in August.

Some rather poor photographs of last night's work

Today was misty all day and I was at work for most of it, anyhow. And I haven't got the hang of taking decent photographs under domestic artificial light (flashes reflect off of the shiny surface of the paint). So, please consider these images to be temporary; better photographs, and a few extra words about the panting and/or the subject, will follow in due course.
