In between filling out a multitude of application forms containing a load of asinine and useless questions (and not enough space to answer them), here is another:

Malcolm, you really should be producing limited edition prints of these superb drawings. Could be a handy source of a few bob. Thanks for putting your talents on display.

It's good seeing these on the forum but it's even better watching him draw them and all the time it takes. A real pleasure photographing them for preparation for publication.

I think they are excellent pictures and deserve to make Malcolm 'a few bob'. It's good to see them on here though. I'm tempted myself, but with not being in full-time work at the moment, I'm being careful with my 'leisure' spending.

A little while ago, I approached Malcolm and we discussed a commissioned picture of the autocar to raise funds for the restoration. There is a photo I wondered about using as a basis for a print and greetings card picture:
AC 011 - York.jpg
We are currently considering the likely level of interest of such a picture - whilst I'm confident of getting a good picture, it's not going to help the Trust if we only sell half a dozen prints... Money's tight at the moment and we have to be a bit cautious until we've enough to pay for the engineering drawings (see other threads). Anyone interested in an autocar picture...?

Thanks for the kind comments.
I will, however, stick to posting railway pictures from now on.
Another one to follow soon.

And another one, finished yesterday. Artists and photographers usually do a view out of a window. I thought I would do a view "into" a window.

Yes. I get the ideas from browsing through old photos, especially with the station pictures as I want to get the details right.
