David Shepherd

Art lovers and railway enthusiasts will get the chance to brush with an internationally renowned artist this October at the Great Central Railway.

David Shepherd has had a remarkable career. His famous paintings reflect his passionate belief in wildlife conservation and his enthusiasm for railways. He is the owner of a '9F' locomotive, "Black Prince".The 9Fs were some of the last engines to be built in Britain and were well known for working passenger services and heavy freight trains.

The award winning heritage railway in Leicestershire is arranging an exclusive night out on the 17th of October 2009 bringing man and machine together and this is your chance to meet them both.
