In the '70s you would have seen a diesel locomotive at the head of most mainline passenger trains, however what we didn’t realise back then was that their time in the spotlight was to be a brief one as they began to be replaced by the High Speed Train towards the end of the decade. On the Eastern Region the passenger loco of choice was the Class 55 'Deltic' which were built to replace the fleet of streamlined Class A4 Gresley Pacific steam locomotives, whose most notable member was Mallard which holds the record for the fastest steam locomotive.

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.
