List Of Rolling Stock Preserved On The South Devon Railway
The South Devon Railway is a heritage railway in Devon, England. The rolling stock preserved on the South Devon Railway includes many examples of steam locomotives typical of the Great Western Railway types that would have once worked on the line, other types of steam locomotives, and a number of diesel locomotives. The engine shed is at Buckfastleigh.
As well as locomotives in service, there are others undergoing overhaul or restoration, or which are displayed in non-working condition. The most significant one of these is Tiny a South Devon Railway 0-4-0vb shunting locomotive on display in the museum at Buckfastleigh station. This is the only original 7 ft 1⁄4 in (2,140 mm) broad gauge locomotive still in existence in the United Kingdom.
There are a number of historic coaches in use including two Great Western Railway "Super Saloons", coaches once used in the Royal Train, and some auto coaches that were used on small branch lines such as this.

“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)

“... in the cities there are thousands of rolling stones like me. We are all alike; we have no ties, we know nobody, we own nothing. When one of us dies, they scarcely know where to bury him.... We have no house, no place, no people of our own. We live in the streets, in the parks, in the theatres. We sit in restaurants and concert halls and look about at the hundreds of our own kind and shudder.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“Death and life were not
Till man made up the whole,
Made lock, stock and barrel
Out of his bitter soul,”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotation.”
—Isaac D’Israeli (1766–1848)
“There were metal detectors on the staff-room doors and Hernandez usually had a drawer full of push-daggers, nunchuks, stun-guns, knucks, boot-knives, and whatever else the detectors had picked up. Like Friday morning at a South Miami high school.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
