Severn Valley Railway Charitable Trust volunteer Alan Reade created images of the two iconic trains and signed limited edition prints were handed to each passenger on a recent VIP Charity Day.

The pictures are available to purchase in a range of forms including SVR-related prints, notelets and calendars from Mr Reade's stall on special event days.

Mr Reade, from Claverley, said: "This is the third series of posters I've done, the first lot I did in 2009 and I made a calendar out of those for 2013 after selling them as prints.

"Then I did another set in an art deco style, and I made those into a calendar as well for the SVR Charitable Trust.

"This year, because of the visit of the Flying Scotsman and Tornado which has caused quite a bit of a stir I did a picture of the Flying Scotsman and Tornado and two GWR engines which were called Hagley Hall and Hinton Manor.

"I did one of the Flying Scotsman going over a viaduct too."

The prints are also available from Smith York Fine Art Publishing on 01952 883461 and at www.syfap.net
