Five behind an 05. The first day of the Santa Specials season sees Hunslet 0-6-0DM D2595 with five MkI coaches on the Ribble Steam Railway. Another Hunslet locomotive, 0-6-0ST Walkden, is on the rear of the train See image 26676. It was just at this point that the driver accelerated and changed gear with a throaty growl from the Gardner 204hp diesel engine.
