There is an artist impression of a red-painted garratt hauling a train above the gorge. Wonderful!

I think that was the picture used in the original publicity for the project. There is now a beautiful painting of the Pass in Winter with a Garret blasting up, sometime in the near future. It is by John Austin who took four of the top five places in last years Guild of Railway Artists competion! The painting of the Pass took fifth place. I wouldn't mind having it but Austin originals command four figure sums ( pounds stirling)!
