6106 Winchcombe 24 December 1990

Christmas Eve steam in the Cotswolds. 61xx 2-6-2T 6106 crosses over the B4632, as it accelerates away from Winchcombe stationon 24 December 1990, and heads back to Toddington, with one of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway's 'Santa Specials'. Bunker first running rarely photographs well, but in this case I think the picture looks OK. Needless to say this view is no longer possible, as the tiny saplings in the foreground are now full size trees!
