A replica of a former locomotive of the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway in Devon, 'Lyd' continues a tradition of their locos being named after local West Country rivers. Although built at Boston Lodge, it has visited the L&BR on several occasions. 'Lyd' is very useful for hauling medium length trains.
Built in the USA for front line service in World War I, '1265' remained in France until 1964. Donated to the railway by a Society member, it became a hard-working locomotive for many years. Also known as the ALCO, 'Mountaineer' is under restoration by a volunteer group and its return is eagerly awaited.
