And the rain pours down

Yes, it's the rainy season in Southern Spain and another good day to stay inside and carry on with new illustrations. Mind you, by the middle of February the rain will stop and we won't get any more until at least October. We rely on deep wells for our water supply and there has to be a good flow at the 150-200 foot level plus several rain water tanks to be filled, so I'm not complaining.

New illustrations to be added very soon will be a GWR full brake (side and end views) from around 1903 and two more additions to the Coronation Scot American train.

Incidentally, if any visitors to my site (elegantsteam.com) from the USA have any knowledge of photographs taken at the time (1939) of the Coronation Scot during its time in the USA could they please get in touch. I would be delighted to have news. I know that the train created quite a stir during its visit and someone, somewhere must have taken photographs. Including the newspapers as well, of course. I can be reached via the Comment page on the site.
