'Sunday Diversion'
- Medium: Oil on canvas
- Dimensions: 30"x 20" / 76cm x 51cm
- Private collection - Warwickshire UK
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 'Princess Coronation' Pacific No.46240 'City Of Coventry' is in charge of the northbound 'Royal Scot' approaching Coventry station during the mid 1950's. This painting was commissioned by a gentleman who, as a young lad, regularly enjoyed the 'Sunday Diversions' through his home town.
