Description: A wheel that is not made from spokes but a number of box sections is called a 'Boxpok' wheel. You can see these wheels on some of Oliver Bullied's locomotives, including the Q1 locomotive preserved at the National Railway Museum in York.

Description: I do like semaphore railway signals - so much so that I do actually have one that I bought from a vicar in Norfolk a few years ago! It just about squeezed into my tiny car for the long trip back home again...I am not sure my passenger was too pleased at the time though!

Description: Last year I travelled to Australia and I saw all these animals I've sketched here (except for the platypus, sadly). As I am feeling nostalgic about that trip, I decided I would draw these animals to bring back the memories.

Description: My friend (I shall call him 'The Big Man') is a ferry enthusiast. I've drawn three key ferries from his life to celebrate the birth of his new baby girl (who'll probably go and watch ferries whether she likes it or not). There was the time he lived in a fishing village north of Aberdeen and he used to watch the Northlink ferries sail past his house. When he got married, he voluntarily dressed up as a sailor and we took the CalMac ferry to the Isle of Arran. More recently, we travelled to Australia (on a plane) and we used the ferries to cross Sydney Harbour.

Description: When I was young, the Easter Bunny always hopped over the 6ft fence and left chocolate eggs in our apple tree for me and my siblings. He sometimes also left smaller treats around the garden and I remember looking amongst the tulips and spring flowers for all sorts of treasure in our garden!

Description: I live abroad and I miss iconic British things, from black taxis, to red buses, baked beans and cups of tea. I've drawn the famous red telephone box - this one is based on the K2 design which came from Sir Giles Gilbert Scott as a result of a competition in 1924.

Description: My glasses got broken recently, someone caught me completely by accident and the frame snapped. I've had them for a few years now but it is one of the perils of wearing specs. I often come home from school with my glasses wonkily sat on my face or roughly taped together which meant a quick trip to the opticians to get them fixed. All sales from this design will fund my new glasses!

Description: This is an Oryx which is the national symbol of Qatar, where I have lived for the last three years.

Description: My friend is a passionate ferry enthusiast and he loves to watch the ferries through his binoculars standing on top of the White Cliffs at Dover. He usually stays in a very good Bed and Breakfast nearby.

Description: My Nutcrackers are a popular item, so I have drawn some more in different festive colours! My Grandma would like these very much!

Description: A poster was released by British Railways which featured soldiers to advertise train travel to London to see the Trooping of the Colour. I have used this poster as inspiration to make my own soliders print.

Description: Happy Christmas from the Queen!

Description: The Class 47 was built in Loughborough by Brush Traction between 1962 and 1968. I've drawn it in Sector livery which some members of the class would have carried in the 1980s.

Description: During the Second World War, the American military built hundreds of S160 locomotives that were shipped across the world to help with the war effort. This drawing shows an S160 in USA Transportation Corps grey livery, similar to one that can be seen on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway in Yorkshire.

Description: 'Olton Hall' was painted into red livery in the early 2000s and it went on to star in the Harry Potter films as the locomotive that hauled the 'Hogwarts Express'. I remember seeing this locomotive on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway when it was painted in green and before it rose to stardom. The GWR fans weren't so keen on the red livery, but I think it looks quite fetching!
