The Guild of Railway Artists’ annual Railart exhibition at Kidderminster Railway Museum on the Severn Valley Railway was opened by Les Ross on Saturday 16th August. Les made his name as a DJ in the Birmingham area. He is a life-long railway enthusiast and has his own Class 86 electric locomotive, which operates charter trains on the West Coast Main Line. Sixty-six paintings by contemporary railway artists were listed in the colour catalogue for the exhibition, which runs until the 28th September. The display includes work by GRA fellows, John Austin, Malcolm Root and Philip D Hawkins. Notably, this time Rob Rowland also made it to the top table, which welcomes visitors as they enter the exhibition from the top of the staircase. Rob’s painting, Shut Lane, Moor Street, Birmingham, is high-lighted on the back cover of the catalogue.
