EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour painting captures the power and elegance of LNER Class P2 No. 2001, affectionately known as 'Cock o' the North,' as it leads a London to Aberdeen express through the picturesque English countryside. Painted by renowned artist C.T. Howard, this exquisite work of art transports us back in time to the golden age of steam rail travel. The LNER Class P2 was a unique locomotive design, with its powerful 4-6-2 wheel arrangement and streamlined body, making it one of the most advanced and efficient express passenger engines of its time. No. 2001, in particular, was known for its distinctive livery and imposing presence. In this painting, we see the locomotive in its element, billowing clouds of steam as it accelerates, pulling a long train of elegant carriages filled with passengers. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, from the lush green fields and rolling hills in the background to the meticulously painted coaches and the engine's gleaming metalwork. The London to Aberdeen express was a prestigious and popular service, connecting the capital city with the Scottish Highlands. The journey took over 12 hours, making the comfort and efficiency of the train and its locomotive essential. The P2 Class engines were well-suited to the task, with their powerful engines and streamlined design allowing them to maintain high speeds over long distances. This painting is an enduring tribute to the romance and beauty of steam rail travel, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the majesty of the machines that made it possible. It is a must-have for any railway enthusiast or art collector, and a beautiful addition to any home or office.
