This interim test blog is meant to help illustrate a series of innovative rail-themed films, music, digital media, visual arts and live performances etc that support the case for applying new Creative Culture Principles to our 200 year-old passenger railways. This preliminary blog site has been created by Ian Banks, who is presently working as an arts consultant with Design Council for Network Rail.

Visual Arts: Railway Artist (British Transport Commission Public Relations Office 1960)
Railway artist Terence Cuneo holding sketchbooks and standing next to a railway track, beckoning forward a diesel freight train 'Condor'. He sits on a seat astride one of the tracks and begins to sketch. Freight trains are behind him, also a station lookout man holding furled flags under his arm with a small trumpet hanging round his neck. Condor "officially described on the London Midland Region of British Railways as a 1200 HP Type 2 Co-Bo diesel-electric locomotive".
