LocosNo 1 A Roundhouse Millie. purchased by the railway in 2006. It is in the process of being transformed. A new cab has been made awaiting painting. The loco will represent the only Beyer-Garrett loco ever made before Beyer Garrett ceased trade and would have been the railways 'standard' loco. Thus no more were ever made and gives me the excuse for having a freelance loco! |

No 2 The locomotive represents the locomotive built by Garrett of Leiston. It is a little like the locomotive Sirapite. A Regner Vincent purchased by the railway in 2007. This is a very slow and powerful addition to the fleet. It is currently being Britishified with a new coat of DVLR dark blue paint, lining, a tender and a new traction engine style canopy. |  |
No 3 An ex BGLR Accucraft Excelsior purchased second hand by the railway in 2008. This loco is currently last on the overhaul list. The timing goes out rather regularly and I have recently had to replace a cylinder gasket with one made of brown parcel paper. It is a slow powerful worker when in full running order but has a habit of knocking all the telegraph poles and line side detail as it is a very wide loco that I had not bargained for when I built the railway! |  |
