We tour the places where both films were recorded, and seeing where the engine stars are now, with some surprising literary connections that we weren't expecting.
As a first visit to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, and given that The Railway Children Return aired this summer, having a look at the places the iconic original and sequel were filmed was a must. We timed it well too, as only months after the Pannier tank was moved from storage to see whether a return to steam was feasible.
This doesn't mean that there won't be a Guide Rail on the KWVR itself, but as you can see from the teaser at the end, this won't be the first film location finder either.

The KWVR, like Olton Hall and Lion, has now been immortalised thanks to this charming film. The locos used are also very wise, particularly the famous Pannier and Green Dragon, here’s to hoping the Pannier still remains in its original ochre and lining when it’s brought back into service.

I rarely payed attention to this film as a kid, but going back I've realised just how wholesome and classical it is. I actually like the Pannier in the orche livery, still keeps me absorbed in the setting somehow. If they're bringing it to steam again, they have to keep it it in that iconic colour.

The "Save the Train" scene will always be my favourite in The Railway Children story.😂

It's interesting to see a non-prototype engine be painted grey. I've seen silver A4s but never something grey. If i were an engine i'd be grey with green stripes, albeit a darker grey than the one on this railway.

Wish I could visit there someday from Australia (specifically, from Sydney) and see British steam in action for real. Now, we just need to wait for the Sydney tour video and I'm looking forward to seeing that.

Thank you so much for this mini documentary. I grew up with a train passing in the middle of the street that my home was. Guess I'm a railway child of sorts.

I grew up around the KWVR and it's still something that seems so fake to me. Like, that somewhere so relatively small and insignificant in the English countryside is home to such a beautiful railway immortalised by both its associations to the Bronte's and the Railway Children. I imagine what I feel with this is similar to how people who live and grow up in London (for example) feel when they see London in films and characters travel across the city seemingly via teleportation. Either way, it's stunning to visit, especially when the 1940's weekend happens at Haworth in the summer. I rode the line that weekend last year and honestly I had no envy for the drivers hauling coal in those steam engines during THAT heatwave, but it felt so so cool and on brand XD

As of 2023, the pannier tank is in pieces during overhaul so look out for that to keep running. At my last visit to the railway (June) its tanks, still in ochre, were sat haspardusly in the car park!

Brilliant video, I've heard about the Keighley and worth valley railway through the old railway children film (even though I've seen it once and seen the ITV version more lol) and would love to visit it and see all the sets for that and the new railway children return film sometime. :)

Despite living nearby in Leeds, I have actually never been to this wonderful time capsule of English Railway History. LOL, I must go there one day. Anyway excellent video my friend you are a very talented filmmaker. RIP Bernard Cribbins, you are an icon to many.

the railway children is one of many movies that slap something together to make a railway in an old era of steam.

Regarding the 1970 film, I was surprised many years ago to learn that the actress playing the younger of the sisters, Sally Thomsett, was actually 2.5 years older than Jenny Agutter, who played the older sister.

8:06 the loco looks a bit like a J50; the red KWVR 2-6-2T looks like Arthur🙂. I believe Thomas may have planned to stay overnight at the K&WVR on his way to the National Railway Museum at York.
