'Dad was the Custodian of the Stones. He cut the grass and maintained the area round the huge monoliths and made sure no one damaged them...'. Above are the Custodians houses and allsorts of street furniture. Today - clutter removed but A303 considerably wider.

Trust me, when it comes to car drivers and industrial locomotives, the car drivers seem to think the loco will stop, give way, or move out of their way, especially at shift change time.

I remember a news story around this time (82/84) about scrotes getting on these Ford trains and helping themselves to radios etc whilst they were travelling up the country. I think someone fell off and was killed, also the Police would hide in the cars to catch them. martc and georgeinabz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martc Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Mummy, where do baby Land Rovers come from? Produced in 1978, the Laird Centaur was a half-track using parts from both the Land Rover and the Scorpion CVR(T). Laird proposed a number of variants, including Troop Carrier, Artillery Tractor, Anti-Air – fitted with a 20mm cannon – and even a Light APC variant. Ultimately, it failed to attract any buyers as most nations already had vehicles which could fulfil these roles. Half-tracks were also a dated concept, with wheeled vehicles just as capable in the same roles. Seven prototypes were built.
