BARRY J. FREEMAN

Inspired by the sheer elegance and latent power that emanates from the dynamic design of Gresley's A4 this picture depicts BR No.60024 "Kingfisher" heading into Peterborough pulling a rake of Gresley teak coaches. The fact that the coaches have not been painted the crimson and cream of early BR days it can be surmised that the subject date of this picture is probably 1951.

Barry J. Freeman only saw one streamlined "Coronation" and this was when he was a young boy eagerly train spotting one sunny afternoon, however the image remained with him when he was asked to create a painting depicting "City of Chester" in the LMS lined crimson lake livery under a full head of steam as it tackled the long climp up to Shap summit he jumped at the chance. The time period for this painting is Autumn 1939 only a month or so after the locomotive had first entered traffic.

Days Of Red And Gold

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.
