More from artist Dominic Davison

I'm late with this message, but I want to thank all of my blog followers and wish you all a healthy, happy and prosperous 2026. The ex London Brighton and South Coast Railway locomotive featured in today's jigsaw, 8th January 2026 is the same(?) one pictured in Dominic's previous post, of 23rd March 2023. The 0-6-2 engine has carried several numbers but named Birch Grove in 1898, when outshopped from Brighton Railway Works. She was used for mixed traffic on branch lines until purchased by the Bluebell Railway in 1962.

The jigsaw, titled Morning Arrival is an excellent 1000-piece example from Falcon. The London, Brighton & South Coast Railway class 'E4' locomotive No.473 was named Birch Grove when built, and entered service in summer of 1898. See the previously mentioned post for more details.
