Cowans Sheldon 36/50-ton Crane for the LMS

It's not often we see artistic images of breakdown cranes (other than the awful representations in the Thomas books!) so it is pleasing to see this, and the following one, from Chris Ashmore. Chris has been a member of the Guild of Railway Artists for about 25 years and is now also a member of the BDCA.

    So nice to see a decent drawing of a railway steam breakdown crane. Would like to get a copy of this really excellently drawn picture myself. Top marks to Chris Ashmore the artist.
