An About Anglia film introduced by Dick Joice, featuring railway enthusiast and clergyman, the Reverend Boston, and the Cadeby Light Railway.

Dick Joice interviews the railway enthusiast, discussing the purchase of ‘Pixie’, a W.G. Bagnall steam locomotive; detailing the many visitors it attracts. Dick Joice provides off-camera commentary as he and the Reverend, journey on ‘Pixie’.
