Rolling Stock
The Mid-Hants Railway plays host to a modest collection of steam and diesel locomotives, passenger carriages and restored wagons, most of which are from the 1940s to 1960s period. Steam locomotives operated include Bulleids West Country Class, the Lord Nelson class and the BR Standard Class 5. Operated alongside these there are a number of diesel locomotives including a Class 205 'Hampshire Unit', Class 33 and a Class 08 diesel shunter.

Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or stock:
“I caught this morning morning’s minion, king-
dom of daylight’s dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding
Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding
High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing
In his ecstasy!”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“However low and poor the taking Snuff argues a Man to be in his own Stock of Thought, or Means to employ his Brains and his Fingers, yet there is a poorer Creature in the World than He, and this is a Borrower of Snuff; a Fellow that keeps no Box of his own, but is always asking others for a Pinch.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
