G'day GB.
That's an easy one  *whistle*
When I was laid up for a while with a smashed shoulder (living in the bush). My sister got me a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. It was blue sky with about a dozen flying pigs in various size and a few clouds. BUT the box had 1005 pieces  *pull hair out*
Cheers

Brilliant nostalgic puzzle but what on Earth is the locomotive meant to be. I don't recall anything like that circa 1960
2003 1961 A7SS, finally the right green
2022 Gone to the dark side and bought a 1981 Honda Benly, electric leg for my old age! done 450 miles!
2023. 1972 Honda CL350 added. Another electric leg bike with a bit more oomf
2025. 1978 Honda CB400A added, deadly boring old man's bike! 
SOLD 2023: 1937 Empire Star, twin port, high pipes
SOLD 2025: 1961 A10SR, spent a fortune at SRM

Yes, I'm not a trainspotter but it doesn't look British does it.

UPDATE:
I just did a Google image search and found this. The artist for the Jigsaw puzzle seems to have an Italian name;  maybe he found a local engine to get details.

Think you've hit the nail on the head there GB.

I'm not much of a 'gricer' but sure looked strange for an English loco.

What's the green rag-top supposed to be? Hereford? Hampshire? Something else? Too big for an A35 (if there even was a rag-top A35, that is)
