The "Tivvy Bumper" was the name given by locals to the train which traveled the line between Tiverton and Tiverton Junction at Willand. It was a push-pull train, with the engine pulling the coaches one way along the line and pushing them back on the return journey. The locomotive in the Tiverton museum (visit link) sometimes pulled the "Tivvy Bumper" and also pulled trains on the Exe Valley line from Exeter St.David's to Dulverton, and the Culm Valley line from Tiverton Junction to Hemyock. It is a 14xx 0-4-2T tank engine no. 1442, built by the Great Western Railway in 1934 at Swindon. This locomotive pulled the last train to Tiverton in October 1965 Only Four 14XX locomotives are preserved - 1420 at The South Devon Railway 1442 at Tiverton Museum, 1450 is in private ownership 1466 is kept at the Great Western Society depot at Didcot
