The masterpiece captures the iconic LMS Coronation Scot streamlined steam locomotive and train gracefully ascending Shap Fell in Cumbria. The year was 1937, a time when railway travel epitomized luxury and efficiency. The Coronation Scot connected London's bustling Euston Station with Glasgow Central Station in Scotland, completing the journey in just 6 1/2 hours.

Measuring at an impressive size of 1150mm x 785mm, this print transports us back to a golden age of rail travel.
