Goods train from Buckfastleigh
On the preserved South Devon Railway a short goods train is heading for Totnes behind No 1369. No. 1369 is the sole survivor of the 6 members of the 1366 class. The class was built for Cornish dock shunting to replace ageing Cornwall Mineral Railway locomotives. It was built in 1934 and originally worked at Swindon Works and then on the Weymouth Quay Branch. It was then transferred to the Wenford Bridge china clay branch in Cornwall. It retired in 1964 and is now preserved at the South Devon Railway.

South Devon Railway - locomotives at Buckfastleigh
On the bridge is No. 3205, a GWR 0-6-0 tender engine and leading it is GWR 0-6-0PT No. 6214. This was part of the Easter gala with three GWR 0-6-0s in steam, a class 25 diesel and a diesel railcar. I spent 7 hours there and it was jolly good fun.

15:40 train from Buckfastleigh
Great Western Locomotive 1450 pulls out of Buckfastleigh station with the 15:40 train watched by schoolboy trainspotters young and old at May half term 1973. I must have been enthusiastic at 16, to take myself by bus from Bude to Plymouth, then to the Dart Valley Railway, where I got a train from Staverton Bridge to Buckfastleigh, then the bus to Exeter and from there back to Bude. The numbering suggests that this was the first slide film I ever took, on Agfa CT18.
