Art in Railways

[OffshoreAlan]

I couldn't resist the temptation to post this topic as a counterpoint to "Railways in Art".

I remember the days when every railway passenger compartment had four (IIRC) framed pictures in it. Usually fairly bland scenic views of places that could be reached by rail.

I just happen to have 4 of them framed and on the wall in my lounge. Salvaged from a coach being scrapped at Wolverton works when my dad worked there
They were given to me unframed and, TBH, I'm not sure they were framed in the carriages either.

River Ouse - York
River Nidd - Knaresborough
Richmond - Yorkshire
Kings Lynn - Norfolk

You're just trying to confuse me, aren't you? (It's easily done these days.)

Perhaps "framed" was the wrong word, but they were under glass with a wooden beading surround fixed to the carriage wall IIRC.

I just remembered this picture which I took a few years ago on the IOW Heritage Steam Railway. Although it's First Class I'm sure they also appeared in Third (as it was then) Class.
