Bibliography
David C Bell, born in Lincolnshire in 1950, attended Trinity House Navigation School and joined the Merchant Navy as a navigator. Nine years later he changed careers and gained a BA Honours Degrees at Hull College of Art. He is primarily known as a marine artist and his first ever commission was of a Vulcan bomber, but it was sea water and steam which proved to be his main attraction in painting for a living. His previous titles include the bestselling A Nautical Odyssey and most recently, H M S Victory.
The thing that strikes you as you turn the book's pages is the attention to detail....and locomotives have plenty of that to test the artist's skill. And although I am no engineer, the pictures really do convey a feeling of being there, smelling the oil and steam and the evocative atmosphere of the roundhouse or station.
