RBR OIC day

RBR commemorating the 50th anniversary of the sudden closure of the Oxfordshire Ironstone Company's system in 1967. OIC fully dieselised their system near Banbury in 1965 with a fleet of 13 Sentinel 0-4-0 diesels in an attractive lined maroon livery. Unfortunately the bottom fell out the market for domestic iron ore and the system closed just two years later. 3 of the thirteen Betty, Jean and Graham are preserved at Rocks, Betty, Jean and Graham
