Help Remembering Old Steam Train Childrens Programme?

[fakenews]

My nephew loves trains and wants to learn more about the mechanics of them. I was chatting with my sister about this and we recalled a childrens TV programme from our youth (would have been on during the 1980/90s) about a group of children finding a steam engine on an old line and getting it running again. Does anyone remember this and what it was called? Google-foo failed me this time.

Are you sure it was the 80s / 90s..? I'm wondering if you're thinking of 'The Flockton Flyer' which IIRC was shown c.1977.

Thanks, will send that over to my sister. It's certainly the right era but the story-line doesn't seem to fit with what we remembered - which was the restoration of an old line following a locomotive being found.

Ivor feeling he isn't.

Latest from sister, it might have been Australian! She remembers the train being hidden or being found amongst trees.

Thanks for all suggestions - appreciated!!!
