‘I have driven locomotives a lot in many parts of the world ... I think to paint engines, one has really got to drive them ... by driving the thing and realising that your puny hands can control this monster … the mere fact of being saturated with this thought makes you paint them correctly, makes you paint their weight and their power’ (T. Cuneo, in an interview with James Mellen, IWM Oral History, 1978, Cat no. 3817, Reel 4, 02:48-03:40).
