December 1980
Class 116 SC50829 leading & 107 Bridge of Weir Dec 1980. Living in Paisley at the time I took a day out one Saturday to film the Ayr (formerly Hamilton) Derby's as we called them on the Paisley Canal line and Kilmacolm branch. Why I did this in December and not when the weather was better I'll never know! Leaving everything to the last minute I suppose. Alistair Ness.
