Limited Edition 1000
Product Code: R2908
Production Details:
The Somerset & Dorset had a rather complicated history but after1948 the
line basically remained unchanged until closure in 1966. In 1951 which is
the subject of the painting, one of "Bullied's "West Country" Class pacifics
ran a series of trials over the line. Chilcompton Tunnel was the back drop
for this painting where "Dorchester" can be seen pulling a rake of exLMS
coaches out of the tunnel avoiding a grass fire that had started on the
nearside. A group of permanent way workers can be seen waiting for the train
to pass so that they can asses the situation.
