He was British-born, but was especially interested in the US railroads of around 1950 - most of all the Denver and Rio Grande Western. He was a prodigious collector of brass model locomotives.
A favourite railroad artist of his was Howard Fogg, who was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1917, later settling in Boulder, Colorado where he lived until he passed on in 1996. I don't know any more about Mr Fogg than that.
The era of steam has a romance all of it's own, and Fogg's paintings are utterly exquisite. I've put just a few here, but if you'd like to spend an evening in the enchantment of rail in days gone by.... put "Howard Fogg" into your search engine and you will find all you need.
Enjoy.
