In the mid-1970s, Sir William McAlpine commissioned Weston to paint a series of 24 large canvases on the history of the British steam locomotive.
The event was televised and attended by the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who later invited Weston and McAlpine to meet with him at Buckingham Palace.
