Railcar Conversion of Morris Oxford

[Flying10uk]

I thought that Forum members may be interested to see this conversion of a 1935 Morris Oxford 20 H.P. which was done by a family friend in around 1967 because everyone at the time said that it was impossible and stupid to even suggest such an idea. The idea came about because the car happened to have approximately the same track as standard gauge U.K. railways, 4' 8 1/2". Basically the steering was locked straight ahead and the road wheels were exchanged for rail wheels off a plate layer's trolley.

The picture was taken on the Old Kent & East Sussex Railway after it's closure to normal traffic and with permission of the line's owner.
