The post office offered a set of four paintings with some train related stamps along the bottom. They were around 150 bucks each but came with a nice frame and matting. They were four different passenger locos and they look pretty to me. Of course I am a neophyte when it comes to identifing the old steam locos and the parts on them, so I don't know if they are technically correct.

Thanks guys for the tips, please keep them coming.

I am espcially interested in B&O steam.

Have any of you found good artwork at the TCA York show?

Another choice would be Ted Rose. He died in 2002 and as far as I know you can't purchase prints of his watercolors but one of the calendar manufacturers turns out annual calendars and they have prior years available. The calendar prints are big enough so that you could frame them if you wanted to.

Gil Reid gets my vote. Maybe because he lives near me and has done some , alot of local scenes that have some fond memories of growing up around here.

By the way, he has a print "Ten-Wheeler Tradition- CNW 1385" that he done in the "Butler yards", hint my screen name. Also I live in Butler, WI where I have spent many hours at the exact location where that was "made from." On the bridge overlooking the south end of the yards!

He also can be found on the above web site that Big Boy 4005 has in his reply!
Thanks, Butleryard. IF YOU CAN READ THIS, THANK A TEACHER! IF YOU ARE READING THIS IN ENGLISH, THANK A SOLDIER!

I have 3 of Angela's pieces, but I don't keep them in my train room, I have them upstairs where I can enjoy them ALL OF THE TIME!!![:D]

Another railroad artist that I like is Larry Fisher. He has a lot of different pieces available. http://www.jelsma.com/cgi-bin/store/scripts/prints.cgi
I found this link by typing in "railroad art Larry Fisher" into my browser. Just type in "railroad art" and you will find tons!!!!!

Oops, sorry JayJay I didn't mean to take your link, but this it their page specificly for Fisher, and in their opinion he is the best!!! I won't argue that.[:)]
