Comments
Bray Valley has had a long and complicated life. It was originally built as a 7.25" gauge locomitive for the Stirling family's proposed tourist railway on Exmoor, but after a last minute change to the much bigger 12.25" gauge, it was hastily widenedn and regauged 10 12.25". Beneath the skin, of course, it was still fundamentally a little engine, and not really powerful enough, so it was regauged back to 10.25" and sold to a private owner in Wales
