RAIL ART 2012
THE 'RED DRAGON' WINS!
The Picture of the Year Award 2012 was voted for by the visitors to the Guild's recent 'Railart 2012' art exhibition staged at the Kidderminster Railway Museum in October 2012.

The winning picture is 'The Red Dragon', an oil painting by John Austin, FGRA. It features a Great Western Railway King Class locomotive hauling 'The Red Dragon' somewhere east of Bath. Leaving Paddington at 5.55pm it's arrival at Carmarthen was due just before midnight. The King of course would have been replaced at Cardiff for a smaller engine for it's onward journey. John says he has wanted to portray this scene featuring 'The Red Dragon' at night for some time.
The win means John retains once again the Lawrence Hammonds Award Rose Bowl, his 19th win and his 15th in succession. The Rose Bowl and a momento will be re-presented to John at the Guild's 2013 Annual General Meeting. |

Second Place was taken by Malcolm Root, FGRA for 'Winter Blues'. It depicts a Colne Valley & Halstead Railway (CV&HR) F9 class 2-4-2 locomotive arriving at Earls Colne Station in 1910. |
