This film proved to be somewhat prescient; within about 10 years of it coming out enthusiasts were indeed running lines themselves. (I think the Talyllyn in Wales was the first one).
Can anyone identify the town in the station shots?

@GenghisKhan44 You're pretty much right with that. Light Railway Order basically means the track and infrastructure is much more ephemeral, and can't take higher speeds. So you either have a light branchline in standard gauge, or you can have some narrow gauge railways

I hope he remembered that he's still got to sign it!

"One doesn't need a knowledge of working slang to operate a locomotive."
He's got a point - after all, you don't need to know how an internal combustion engine works in order to drive a car!

What exactly is a Light Railway Order, anyway? I've tried looking it up but the explanation isn't very clear.
@Inkyminkyzizwoz You just love this film, don't you?
I don't know what a Light Railway Order is. My guess is it's some kind of permit that allows you to own a railway that's not as heavily trafficked or well-maintained as a regular railway. They use a lot of railway jargon in this film.
Actually after. It was a cry from the steam lovers who didn't want their locomotives killed, and thanks to the Woodham Brothers, there are hundreds surviving today, and several titfield railways if you will!
@steamboy51 Oh, more than several. Hundreds. :D
oh my Lord, thank you for giving me a chance to watch possibly the best railway film ever made. So light hearted, so realistic and yet so wonderfully steam-propelled in every single aspect!
My pleasure!
I think this film came before diesels became popular.
