2857 Winchcombe 10 October 1992

Tender first steam locomotive pictures are rarely successful, unless you go for a broadside shot, such as this. 28xx 2-8-0 2857 gets under way from Winchcombe on 10 October 1992, heading back to the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway's headquarters at Toddington. The wooden boxes in the foreground add a little bit of colour contrast to the scene.
