When British Rail introduced modernisation plans in the 1950s to replace its fleet of steam locomotives the Western Region chose diesel hydraulic locomotives as their favoured form of motive power. However when British Rail decide to standardise their diesel fleet in 1967 diesel hydraulic locomotion was deemed non-standard and this policy shortened the life of the Western Regions diesel hydraulic fleet. Although introduced in 1961 and finally withdrawn in 1977, the full fleet of 74 locomotives was only active together for a total of 9 years. Only three of the class were never painted maroon.

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.
