Postbridge
is the first layout of the
Plymouth and Devonport to Exeter
Railway. Postbridge is a
hamlet so only a few locals, tourists, and soldiers use the halt - most troops would have moved
by truck. The local industry is a Ministry of Defence ordnance depot supporting
the firing ranges and exercise areas on Dartmoor. The depot receive ammunition &
general stores by van and fuel in tank wagons. The sidings are maintained by the
army using a Land Rover MkII with rail wheels - a non
powered Golden Valley Hobbies model.
