Ashburton 1971
A fascinating glimpse of the past
Ron Kosys

Welcome back to Ron who has returned to the UK after  break 'across the pond'. Ron promises more from his large collection. Ron writes :-  Early morning at Ashburton 21st July 1971.... Western Railrover. Overnight from Paddington. A real proper Devon General bus from Newton Abbot to Ashburton. 1420 gets a brush up before heading off light engine to Buckfastleigh to work the days trains.
Guess who walked all the way to Buckfastleigh in order to photograph the loco running along the section of line that was to disappear under the A38 modernisation scheme??!!!  Many thanks Ron, we look forward to more from your vintage collection.
