This locomotive was built by Andrew Barclay in 1927 and delivered new to the Carrow Works of J & J Coleman . It was given the name Gamma.
It was a fireless locomotive which means that it had a steam accumulator rather than a boiler and was charged up with steam from a stationary boiler. It also meant that there was no chance of it starting a fire. More information available here AWAITING RESTORATION Owned by Telford Steam Railway |

COACHING STOCK
GWR Auto Trailer No.38- The GWR Autocoach (or auto-trailer) is a type of coach that was used by the Great Western Railway for push-pull trains powered by a steam locomotive. The distinguishing design feature of an autocoach is the driving cab at one end, allowing the driver to control the train without needing to be located in the cab of the steam locomotive. This eliminates the need to run the engine round to the other end of the coach at the end of each journey. When one or more autocoaches are connected to a suitably equipped steam locomotive, the combination is known as an auto-train, or, historically, a railmotor train. A steam locomotive provided with the equipment to be used as an autotrain is said to be auto-fitted.

BR Mk3a SLEP No. 10543A Sleeper Either class with Pantry (SLEP) is a type of railway sleeper car. A total of 208 vehicles were built at Derby Litchurch Lane Works by British Rail Engineering Limited between 1982–1984 to the British Rail Mark 3A profile for British Rail. They were introduced to replace an ageing fleet of Mark 1 sleeper cars built to various designs and which dated from the late 1950s to early 1960s. The order consisted of 88 SLE variants, constructed with thirteen bedrooms each, and 120 SLEP variants constructed with twelve bedrooms with the last compartment used for an attendant. The Mark 3 air-conditioned sleeping cars were introduced including many additional safety features that had been lacking in the Mark 1 carriages that had caught fire at Taunton.

WAGONS
Metro Cammel 24t Dogfish No. DB993353In all, 1249 wagons were built and were abundant on all Regions. SR & LMR stock had 'flared' chutes to allow the ballast to fall clear of the outside 3rd rail. Another variant was for carrying slag ballast, having 9" plates welded to the top edges of the hopper, e.g. DB993160/192/239. Dogfish were worked with other types of hoppers, a train of about 8 Dogfish and 4 Sealion wagons being common. On the Southern Region, some Dogfish were worked with Mermaid side-tippers, and lettered 'MER-DOG'. Surviving Dogfish received the "new" liveries such as Loadhaul and Departmental grey, then EWS maroon.

Salmon WagonThe 'Salmon' bogie rail wagon was based on an LMS design and was a 62ft long flat wagon fitted with 5 bolsters. A single wagon could carry a number of 60ft lengths of rail. A total of 894 wagons was built between 1949 and 1961 under 15 separate lots. Builders included private firms such as Head Wrightson Ltd and G R Turner as well as BR workshops at Derby and Wolverton and the 6 different diagram numbers issued reflected minor differences such as the inclusion or omission of a curb-rail. The wagons were built either unfitted or with a vacuum through pipe and in 1974 these were coded YMO and YMP respectively, with design codes in the YM500x, YM501x and YM502x series. By this time, many of the Salmon had had their bolsters removed to enable the carriage of 60ft track panels.
