'Sunday Diversion' - Philip Hawkins, Fellow of the Guild
Railway Artists.
West Coast main line trains were often diverted through Coventry
and Birmingham on Sundays offering local enthusiasts the opportunity to enjoy
the sight and sound of Stanier Pacifics without travelling too far from home.
On this occasion ex-LMS 4-6-2 Princess Coronation Class No 46240 'City of
Coventry' is in charge of the northbound 'Royal Scot' approaching Coventry
station during the mid 1950s. In July 1958 No 46240 emerged from a 'Heavy
General' at Crewe Works in red livery one of sixteen 'Princess Coronations'
thus adorned.
A limited edition print is available of this painting by Philip
D. Hawkins FGRA from Phil's own website
