Ashton Swing Bridge (Preston)

The resident 650hp Class 14 is usually used on the 5-coach RSR Santa Specials but was undergoing repairs during the 2022 season and Hunslet 05 D2595, with less than a third of the power (and a challenging gearbox 40593), was pressed into service. The 204hp 0-6-0DM is seen trundling behind the steam powered train, which it will then haul back to the station.
