4210137 Blunsdon 21 October 1983

One of the Swindon & Cricklade Railway's early acquisitions was Fowler 0-4-0 4210137, which arrived at Blunsdon in 1980. The loco was built in 1958, and spent its working life at the nearby Swindon Pressed Steel car body plant. It is pictured here at Blunsdon on 21 October 1983 along with a BR Mk1 coach. At this time the S&CRS site consisted of little more than a short length of track, with a few items of rolling stock and other equipment.
