Vintage BWR Postcards




























No.6. Train on the Bicton Woodland Railway / Printed by Colin Richardson Printers Limited, Brighouse, Yorkshire.

No.1. Trains at Bicton Gardens Station

Note the open coaches in use and the smaller Engine 'Bicton' - A small diesel locomotive was purchased in 1963 built by Ruston & Hornsby Ltd. Later to become 'Budley' - but more about this in a future post. I would guess that these old postcards date back to the very early days at Bicton.
