2509 Silver Link

Congratulations to J. Taylor who won the draw for the first signed and numbered print (1/250) of 2509 Silver Link.

 

Bulleid Battle of Britain class No. 21C155 Fighter Pilot

Now that Southern Locomotives have announced that the expected completion date of rebuilt light pacific 34053 Sir Keith Park is to be next spring, the print of the 34053 will be held back until then.

In the meantime a print of 21C155 Fighter Pilot will be available this September to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. 21C155 was chosen as a fitting tribute to 'The Few'. The locomotive was named by Group Captain Douglas Bader at Brighton Station on 9th September 1947.

As usual the first signed and numbered print (1/250) will be allocated by a draw. To be entered into the draw you will need to have ordered and paid for your copy during the three weeks prior to publication.

If you would like to be reminded by email when advance orders are being taken let me know via the Bulleid Light Pacific Print Form.
