From an early age he combined his love of art with a fascination for all kinds of transport. On leaving school he entered the printing industry and in 1981 took the decision to become a full- time professional artist. Commissions followed, particularly for railway scenes and in 1983 he was elected a full member of the Guild of Railway Artists. Malcolm's paintings have encompassed almost every form of transport from horse and cart and tram to Concorde and `le Shuttle'. They have also appeared in many forms including fine art prints, collectors' plates, jigsaws, calendars and books.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beyond Books Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58424782061942,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/2969\/8658\/files\/pot.jpg?v=1786282865","url":"https:\/\/www.beyond-books.co.uk\/products\/malcolm-roots-pageant-of-transport","provider":"Beyond Books Media","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
