Steam Locomotive
A Southern Railway West Country class steam locomotive, built in 1946 at Brighton Works as no. 21C123, bore the name of the Vale. However, she currently carries the more unusual spelling "Blackmoor Vale", as she did when built. She is currently based at the Bluebell Railway in Sussex, where she is stored at Sheffield Park awaiting a boiler overhaul.
