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.

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.

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!

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 👌
