I'm not sure if this really qualifies as "realistic" but it's a little known fact that Terence Cuneo once popped up to Ladmanlow Sidings, and did a couple of paintings of what he saw there:

I'm currently working on the entrance to Colchester loco depot, the building on the right is a stable block built in the 1890s, but by 1955 it had been disused for many years. The building on the left is a water tank which feed the depot and railway laundry.

On a similar vein, local artist, Sheldon Fopp captures the likeness of a Peckett at Sheep Dip.

Not sure that is a Sheldon Fopp, though very similar in style Sheldon liked to draw in large coupling loops under the draw bar.

 

This I think is a painting by German immigrant Flik Ofderwrist who came to the United Kingdom in 1938 where he met and married the love of his life Geraldine Ewestice

Just to clarify, it's a 00 gauge Hornby Peckett with the tension locks removed and sat on PECO Code 75 track. 

 

Thanks.

Returning the brake van to Westerham from early morning shunting at Brasted, the only way it could be brought back was to propel it in front of the locomotive.
