This children’s adventure film from the Children’s Film Foundation has a scene filmed outside Buckfastleigh station in the good old days before it became part of the Dart Valley Railway (and later still the South Devon Railway). A former GWR 45xx series 2-6-2T can be seen standing in the platform in the background but its number is not visible.
