No holiday in the West Country would be complete without a visit to the South Devon Railway, where a little bit of Devon-s history has been captured and beautifully presented for us all to enjoy. It-s lovely to read books and see pictures of quaint little tank engines steaming through glorious countryside with a short rake of chocolate and cream carriages, the South Devon Railway takes those nostalgic images and brings them to life with pretty stations, gleaming locomotives, traditional signals, buildings and water towers all bearing that distinct Great Western Railway appearance. The friendly team at the railway go the extra mile to make sure your visit is a memorable one for all the right reasons, with a caf-, miniature railway, museum and engine shed at Buckfastleigh, along the way our train stops briefly at Staverton, a perfect recreation of a GWR wayside station, finally we steam into Totnes Riverside station for the Totnes rare breeds farm, the town and mainline station. Take time out from your busy day to enjoy the Devon countryside and River Dart from a point of view passengers rarely see. The railway is a standard gauge line, (1, 435 mm - 4 ft 8 1-2 in) located in the South, West of England, easily accessible from the A38 Devon Expressway or by main-line GWR trains from London and the West Country, regular CrossCountry trains from the North and Midlands also serve Totnes.

One feels the groans, grunts, squeaks, pants and the huffing and puffing of the loco, almost feel like it's a living being made out of steel, brass and copper amongst other things and the landscape is soft on the eyes. a pleasant and refreshing journey. Thank you for the upload -

Lovely video, thank you. It brings back memories of my days studying at nearby Dartington College of Arts in the mid 1990s. I could often hear the whistle of the train from my halls of residence on campus. Great stuff!

I thought this was the Dart Valley Railway, and that the South Devon Railway was the Paignton - Kingswear line. Have I been under a misapprehension for the last half-century, or was there a name change at some time?

Does the train carry a step ladder for anyone who gets on / off at Nappers! It seems to be closed when I visited - padlocked, etc. They ought to make it like Kelling Heath Park Station on the NNR.
