Shirley Goodsell | Originals Gallery | On Time, Steam Engine No.76079, Grosmont

The No.76079 is at full speed after leaving a bridge built over the track.

After spending time studying this magnificent engine in the Grosmont Worksheds, I wanted to paint it unfettered by the trappings of the maintenance work it was undergoing at the hands of the experienced engineers in the Worksheds.

I imagined it at full throttle, thundering down the track in a remote part of the Yorkshire Moors.
