Times Past Calendar

Times Past Calendar Overview

Recollections of vintage transport in the Times Past calendar communicate a sense of nostalgia for bygone times when life moved at a slower pace. Nostalgic paintings by Malcolm Root, Robin Wheeldon and Mike Jeffries faithfully depict motorised transport such as trains, buses, planes, tractors and more and include interesting facts about each painting’s context. This fascinating and evocative calendar will appeal to enthusiasts of vintage transport and steam locomotives, and to art lovers everywhere. Each atmospheric painting communicates the exhilaration and power of bygone transport.

January’s picture of the locomotive Princess Elizabeth was painted to commemorate the 70th year of HM Queen Elizabeth’s reign as sovereign. We see the locomotive, built in 1933 and named after the Princess, making stately progress at 70mph over Low Borrowbridge towards Shap through the Cumbrian Fells. May’s picture is of the Plaxton Ventura coaches, in service from 1954, lined up on the promenade for returning day trippers. Plaxtons started out in construction before diversifying into building charabanc bodies after WWI.
