The Cathedrals Express

Battle of Britain Class 34067 Tangmere accelerates up Martin Mill Bank in Kent, hauling the prestigious Cathedrals Express. Growing up in Kent, we often saw Tangmere on the circular charters to Canterbury, returning via the Kent Coast. The engine proved a firm favourite in that part of the country. I wanted to bring colour to this painting in whichever I could!
