    Excellent camera locations and great that a lot of the filming was done at or near the stations and shed. Showing milk churns, trolleys etc is a nice touch. My 3 year old grandson watched entranced for ages particularly taken by the ” whistles” of the diesels, steam locos and guards. He particularly likes diesels so we took him up to London Victoria to see the diesel hauled Belmond Pullman on Friday. The driver saw him and invited him to sit in the cab. Later he said ” I drove a diesel train”.
