The Swindon & Cricklade Railway's Blunsdon site, pictured in the very early days of the society's activities, on 25 October 1980. Some rails have arrived, but as yet no track has been laid. Unfortunately I can find no record of the identity of the loco seen in the background. Any information would be gratefully received. As you expect, both the cars seen here are no longer on the road. The Ford Escort 1.1 litre estate only managed a life of nine years, but the Rover 3.5 litre did slightly better with a 15 year lifespan. I have been told that the Escort previously belonged to a TV rental company, the main clue being the pair of clips below the rear window, used for fixing an advertising sign.
