If you know anything about this loco, please let us know! It's a well-kept secret

Convoluted origins, but has spent its life at Wills Garden Railway in Sussex. Similar to 'Mr P' at Beer Heights Light Railway

Originally built by Tom Austen. Purchased by Roy Foster for his newly-built Great Torrington Railway in September 1987, and totally rebuilt by him. When the railway was purchased by disgraced former MP Piers Merchant in 1998, an attempt was made to run the loco, resulting in a failed boiler plug. Partially dismantled, and in a sorry state, Mark Rolle was stored until being sold in 2010, and eventually rebuilt by Andrew Robinson. In 2023, the loco is almost back in operational condition

'Samstipur' ran for a while on a private railway on the Isle of Man. After being loaned to Beer Heights, the rarrangement was made permanent. Rebuilt as 'Jools' in 2018 and officially named by Jools Holland OBE. One very unusual part of the rebuilt was a dual-control driver system, making the locomotive  uniquely suited to driver training and 'driver experience' courses. As well as a second steam regulator on the back of the bunker, the locomotive has a camera observing the gauge glass, paired with a video screen in the van behind.

Built for the Wills Garden Railway in East Sussex, owned by the late Bob Wills

Built in 2011 as 'Jeremy', then later sold to Barnards Miniature Railway and renamed 'Bernarda von Barnards'. One of only two Exmoor locos built in the Orenstein and Koppel style

Built at Exmoor in 2000, then to Hills Miniature Railway, Brookside Miniature Railway in Hazel Grove, Greater Manchester and now Barnards Miniature Railway in Essex

The most popular Exmoor product has always been the little 0-4-2 tank engines. No.306, one of many, was delivered to a provate owner in 2000

Little is known about 'Gillian'!

Much travelled little locomotive: Hills Miniature Railway, Brookside Miniature Railway and now at Barnards

Margret was built by two model engineers in Strathaven, South Lanarkshire. The Strathaven Miniature Railway was built for it, and the locomotive has run there ever since
