A large 1500-piece jigsaw

Today's jigsaw, 8 March 2021, is a 'special' - a 1500-piece wooden example from Amazon is the focus of attention.

A superb wooden jigsaw of 1500 pieces including a large signal gantry, is from MAIYOUWENG (China?), at Amazon Marketplace. It duplicates Malcolm Root’s superb painting of the northbound 'Queen of Scots' featuring A. H. Peppercorn class 'A1', No.60127 Wilson Worsdell, hauling a rake of elegant Pullman Cars. The train, with headboard to the fore, is pictured passing immediately beneath the huge signal gantry at High Dyke, just north of Stoke tunnel, Lincolnshire. Eight signals are visible through the dense exhaust thrown up by the locomotive. To add to the pictorialism, Malcolm has painted the scene in winter, in early British Railways' days, with the locomotive resplendent in BR express passenger blue livery. The location, on the East Coast Main Line, is smothered in a few inches of snow; three railwaymen observe from trackside. I think it's worth mentioning here, a 1948 eyecatching poster by Reginald Mayes, produced for British Railways' Eastern Region. The poster depicts the 'Queen of Scots' Pullman service from Kings Cross to Glasgow, stopping at Leeds, Harrogate, Darlington, Newcastle and Edinburgh. 'The Queen of Scots' is pictured travelling at speed adjacent to a dominant carpet of tartan, beside the track.The locomotive at the head is an unidentified class 'A4' of Sir Nigel Gresley. The poster is reproduced below.
