New Christmas Steam Train Greeting Card: Magical Nighttime Scene Featuring Engine 80136 on the North Yorkshire Railway

✨ A Magical New Steam Train Greeting Card for Christmas and Winter Gifting ✨

Hello! I’m so excited to share the latest addition to my illustrated greeting card collection — a brand new design featuring the beautiful steam engine 80136, captured in a snowy nighttime scene along the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

This magical image is perfect as a Christmas card, with a soft, ethereal atmosphere that brings to life the quiet wonder of winter nights. A single shining star lights up the deep blue night sky, while snow falls gently around the train — a moment of stillness and mystery. 

Whether you’re looking for a unique Christmas card, a winter-themed train card, or the perfect greeting card for a steam railway enthusiast, hopefully this design offers something special.

✨ A Unique Touch — Illustrated and Printed by Hand

 

What makes this card, and every item in my shop, truly unique is that each illustration is digitally hand-drawn by me, and every card is printed in-house. I don’t outsource any part of the creative or production process. From sketch to print, your card has been made with care.

To suit different preferences and budgets, you can choose from two beautiful cardstock options:

  • Standard Option: Marrutt 230gsm Matte Card: a chalky, matte texture that makes colours pop with vibrancy and keeps the card feeling beautifully tactile. 
  • Premium Option: Marrutt 312gsm Smooth Fine Art Paper: luxuriously thick with a soft cream tone, this cardstock gives the card a fine art feel that’s ideal for gifting or framing.

 

 

 

🚂 A Reimagined Classic

This card is also a reimagining of one of my earlier designs: ‘Pickering Station’, which featured engine 80136 in daylight against a mustard yellow background. That version had a more graphic, modern feel. For this new release, I wanted to explore a different mood — a winter’s night full of magic and nostalgia.

It’s a little nod to steam railway heritage, to snowy evenings waiting for trains, and to the joy of sending (or receiving) a thoughtful card during the festive season.
