DIESEL AND ELECTRIC +pine frame

The original oil painting was commissioned by the railway staff at Bournemouth and was presented to Driver Brian Heckford to mark his retirement after 49 years and 8 months.

The painting is set at Bournemouth in the late 1980s following the electrification of the line to Weymouth and depicts the arrival in Platform 2 of an Up Boat Train from Weymouth Quay to London Waterloo.

The class 33/1 Diesel locomotive is about to be detached and replaced for the rest of the journey to London by the class 73/1 Electro-Diesel , which is waiting in the Up Bay, Platform 1. A class 442 Wessex Electric multiple unit train has just  arrived at Platform 3 with a London to Weymouth service.
