Do any of you have railroading art that you purchased?  Show us some images so we can get a sense of what some of you have and what appeals to you.

George Williamson is a steam engine hogger who has rebuilt several locomotives, including the only one in which I have had a cab ride.  He is in his mid-seventies, and drives the 2-8-2T Alberni Pacific excursion train to the only steam-run sawmill in Canada that still runs.  He is also an excellent artist.  I have two paintings by him, one of a CP early 2-8-0, and this recent purchase of Selkirk #5911.  I am quite taken with this painting.  The image below doesn't quite do it justice, no surprise, but it is very nice.

I like the painting you posted.  #5911 just about jumped out of the computer screen here!  Cough, choke, ...........gotta clear that smoke outa here............

I have a book of Howard Fogg art.  It's inspiring just looking at those pictures.
