Comments
Quite a complicated history. 'Lorna Doone' was Exmoor's third locomotive, built as a 0-6-0T to 12.25" gauge for the Exmoor Steam Railway. In 2001 it was rebuilt as a 10.25" 0-6-2T - see separate entry for 310. It was renamed 'John Remy' and subsequently worked at Beale Park. In 2018, it was bought by the Littlehampton Miniature Railway which was desperate for motive power. It emerged in 2021 as 'Christopher', a 12.25" gauge 2-6-2T, and now works in that form at Littlehampton
