6106
Built at Swindon in May 1931, and withdrawn from Oxford depot in December 1965.
It was purchased in working order by a Great Western Society member, being sent to the small depot temporarily established by the Great Western Society in the old Taplow goods shed.
There it was steamed on high days and holidays until able to come to Didcot in October 1967.
It has featured in several films including ‘The Bliss of Mrs Blossom’ when, painted in psychedelic colours, it operated in a contrived snowstorm at Taplow, to the consternation of surprised main-line drivers.
