The PO Pacific's showed themselves to be superior engines and Nord placed an order for twenty locomotives with slight modifications to be made for the NORD Railway. In 1935/36 NORD placed an additional order with two private companies, Ateliers de Construction du NORD de la France A.N.F.

These locomotives are known as "Chapelon's NORD" to enthusiasts throughout the world and are regarded as masterpieces of locomotive design. The prototype of this Aster model is preserved at the French National Railway Museum in Mulhouse.Boiler History: No boiler history available.Condition Report: Overall very good condition. very little to no wear on wheels.

ALIENS - Pvt. Frost's (Ricco Ross) Photo-matched U.S. Colonial Marines Armor Costume and Corporal Dietrich's (Cynthia Dale Scott) USCM Ab Armor Pvt. Frost's (Ricco Ross) photo-matched U.S. Colonial Marines armor costume from James Cameron's sci-fi horror sequel Aliens. Frost and his fellow Colonial Marines helped Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) investigate the desolate moon LV-426.The USCM armored costumes were designed by Emma Porteous, with the armor elements hand-crafted from aluminum by master armorer Terry English. Multiple sets of armor were made for each character in the film; this particular body armor was used for a shot where Frost catches fire during the battle with xenomorphs and falls over the railing. The shot was achieved with a practical burn effect on a mannequin dressed in the costume. The body armor and leg armor photo-match to a behind-the-scenes photo of the costume-dressed mannequin. The mannequin is also holding a large cigar as a gag reference to the burn.The central element of the ensemble is Frost's body armor, comprised of chest, back, and shoulder plate armor assemblies that were hand-formed in aluminum and hand-painted with a custom camouflage pattern. It is stenciled "FROST" on the upper chest and marked "FROST RICCO ROSS" in the interior, and also marked with a number "3". It features padding on the shoulder bells and lower back section in a green waffle-pattern foam that is unique to film-used Aliens armor. The back of the shoulder straps are still coated in a material that was designed to burn for the burn effect, and the interior foam padding and plastic side-strap buckles are melted from the flames.The other Frost armor components included are a pair of camouflage-patterned aluminum shin guards and a pair of matching knee pads. These are also photo-matched to the same image and feature the same material applied for the burn effect. The final component of original armor is the gray leather abdominal padding with aluminum accents marked "DIETRICH" and "SCOTT" (for the performer) with a replica waist strap.Several elements have been added to the original armor to complete it for display, including a camouflage-patterned cotton replica shirt and matching replica pants; replica webbing on the body armor, and a pair of replica boots. Also included is a color photograph of Frost inscribed "She had my back and front" and autographed by Ross. The armor exhibits signs of wear, including scratches and paint chipping, along with some indentations, missing plastic clips, and burned elements from the practical fire effect.

Paul Nash (1889-1946) Monuments Pencil and watercolour, 1932 53.5 x 35.9cm Provenance: Leicester Galleries, London, 1932; Where purchased by Mrs May Kingdon; By descent to her son, Rev H. P. Kingdon; And by descent Literature: The Architects' Journal, 9 November 1932, p.597 (illustrated); The Architects' Journal, 16 November 1932, p.651; Paul Nash: Paintings and Watercolours, exh. cat. (London, Tate Gallery, 1975), p.81, no.134; Andrew Causey, Paul Nash (Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1980), pp.209, 419-420, no.737, pl.254 Exhibited: London, Leicester Galleries, Watercolours by Paul Nash, 1932, no.6; London, Tate Gallery, Paul Nash, November-December 1975, no.134 Together with two letters from the artist to Mrs Kingdon regarding the clippings from The Architects' Journal (3) The subject of the present work is the group of stone busts outside the Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford. Paul Nash lectured at the Oxford Arts Club in May 1932, and in a letter wrote 'I am anxious to do a few drawings in Oxford'. Another watercolour of one of the busts, entitled 'Souvenir of Oxford' was sold at Christie's, London, 12 October 2011, lot 5. Andrew Causey describes the two works as Nash's 'most effective use of statues...in his drawings'. The present work was illustrated and discussed in The Architects' Journal during a review of the 1932 exhibition at the Leicester Galleries. The reviewer wrote 'for sheer architectural draughtsmanship study the railings in Monuments....each upright is a lovely articulate line, with a thin wash. Every draughtsman knows how difficult it is to give character and beauty to a "plain railing"'. This caused a lively debate in the letters pages of the journal, in which Patrick Abercrombie derided 'the limitations of modern draughtsmanship'. Nash himself replied, calling Abercrombie's letter 'confused', and caused 'partly by some emotional disturbance such as cold rage or accumulated resentment'. The debate continued for several weeks.
