Buckfastleigh Station â 1970 The Dart Valley Railway (as it then was) was still in its infancy. The occasion was a railtour from Liverpool organised by the Locomotive Club of Great Britain, at the time it being still possible to run mainline stock onto the branch.

Motive power up and down the branch was provided by former Great Western Railway locomotives 0-6-0PT 1638 and 2-6-2T 4555. (1638 was actually built post-Nationalisation).

A feature of Buckfastleigh Station was that although it had a passing loop, there was only a passenger platform on one side.

Running round at Buckfastleigh Station â 1970 (2) Taken on the occasion of a Locomotive Club of Great Britain railtour from Liverpool to the relatively newly formed Dart Valley Railway.

Great Western Railway small 2-6-2T locomotive 4555 (hiding its companion 1638) is backing onto the train at the south end of the station prior to returning to Totnes.

The right hand track provides a passing loop, but it was only signalled as a siding, as the station only had one platform and all trains normally ran on the left hand track.
