    While Stathis is on*the subject of cleaning engines – and I must admit that I quite enjoyed my brief stint of loco cleaning alongside*the conservation team’s*gang of volunteers – I thought it would be a good chance to highlight*this*painting*from the NRM collection.

    St Pancras, Cleaning Yard, by Cliff Rowe (1904-1989) is one of*a series of cleaning yard paintings made between 1940 and 1945. They*all*depict a woman cleaning the inside of the locomotive, each one progressing a little further towards abstraction.
