Rolling Stock
The railway has several steam locomotives and a small series of diesel shunters, four of which have had notable careers on the island. To compliment the collection, numerous examples of pre-grouping carriages have been recovered and restored. The oldest of these were built in 1864 and the last in 1924. There are also more than 45 units of freight rolling stock, the oldest of which dates from circa 1860.
