That's Bob Baileys Graveyard Train, which I think had a 239 inch flatmotor? Bob was a mate of Tony Beadle and Brian Gibson, I remember the car running at North Luffenham. That's the legendary Don Beadle working on the car, flatmotors to top fuellers!

Thanks for the info.
I didn't know anything about this car, I thought it was one of Tony's.

I called Ken Cooper to tell him about the pics of this rail being posted and not surprisingly he knew the car well.
Seems the car actually belonged to Ken's friend Brian Lockley. It was built by Ken and Brian but for a number of reasons Brian wasn't running it so Tony (Beadle) asked to borrow it and Brian agreed. Unfortunately for Tony the car had been built to suit Brian's stature, which wasn't anywhere near Tony's, as a result Tony's friend Bob Bailey got to drive.
Later, Tony having built his own rail, the car was delivered in the Beadle Bros trailer to Ken's house where I recall seeing it. Eventually, after moving to his current address, Ken talked the son of his next door neighbour along with his mates into running the car. Initially they ran it as a 'loaner' as Tony had done, eventually buying it and it then became the B B & G car.
