Mumbles Railway

Below is a photo of a painting in my home in Canada by "I Web" or "J Web" - I can't quite make the name out - can anybody help??
It's of the Mumbles Train approaching Southend station on the way to Swansea. The view is from a long gone footbridge over the line.
About 45 years ago I took a black and white photo of this very same scene, and lent it to my barber, a Mr Bryn Parkyn - (also artist) of Killay, Swansea, who wanted to use it for a painting.
He used to hang and sell the paintings in his barbershop opposite St Hillary's Church in Killay.
I never had the photo back, but on past visits to Swansea I've seen souvenir postcards in W H Smith and other stores that are identical to my pic and I wonder ......

Oh no - not just yet please!!

Just as I was getting used to temperatures above zero!

Excuses, excuses ......

Sorry the pics haven't appeared for a few days. I've got some visitors from "over 'ome" and have been taking pics rather than posting them. Give me a few days and I'll be back to normal.
