It is one of the longest serving diesel electric locomotives with around 15% of the original fleet still in operation or preservation nearly 60 years later. North Star, one of those still running, has had four different numbers during its lifetime, 1661, 47077, 47613 and 47840, it remained in mainline service until 2007 and was then put into preservation by the West Somerset Railway.

About our paper

All our prints are printed using water based inks on sustainably sourced 315gsm Cold Press Watercolour Paper (CPWP). A 100% cotton rag paper with a matte finish and a tight, highly textured surface resemblant of etching paper.

Modelled after a true old world watercolour paper the natural white, OBA free base of this archival quality ‘cold press’ paper lends a traditional feel to our archival inkjet fine art prints.

The rough textured surface is coated with a matte coating, compatible with both pigment and dye inkjet printers providing a stable base for our images and ensuring they last for years.
