Bo-Bo type diesel mechanical engined locomotive No. 5 'RUDYARD LADY'. It has a Perkins 3-cylinder diesel engine linked by a four speed gearbox to the wheels. The clutch uses standard car parts and drive to the rear bogie wheels is by chain.The engine is probably the largest diesel locomotive on 10.25in gauge track with seats for two and space for three persons in the cab. Built by local engineer Mr. L. A. Smith from Leek in 1989. RUDYARD LADY is a frequent sight at both steam and diesel galas. It was repainted in a version of its original livery in 2019 and has undergone much maintenance since then.

Coal-fired 2-4-2T Steam Locomotive No. 7 'MERLIN'. Built in 1998 as Works No. 296 by Exmoor Steam Railway at their Bratton Fleming, Devon, works, it is one six locomotives of this type built at Exmoor which have all gradually got a little larger. The loco was originally built for an abortive 12.25in gauge line in West Germany and ran about half a dozen times at Exmoor on their railway until purchased for Rudyard in 2001. It was re-gauged to 10.25 inch gauge. MERLIN'S engine has cylinders 4 inch bore x 5inch stroke. The boiler pressure is 150 pounds per square inch and it has 11in diameter driving wheels. The valve gear has roller bearings throughout as do the axle boxes. It has a longer wheelbase than the earlier three engines built of this type. Boiler replacement took place in 2017 and a major overhaul and repaint completed in 2020. Current boiler certificate until 8 February 2025.Note: MERLIN is being offered together with its original spare boiler in the same lot.

Built in 2005 as Works No. 296 by Exmoor Steam Railway at their Bratton Fleming, Devon, works, it is one of two locomotives of this type to have been built at Exmoor. At 41 inches wide and 5 foot high, this is the largest type engine that can run on this size of railway. This engine is one of the most powerful conventional steam engines of this track gauge in the world. KING ARTHUR has 2 cylinders 4.75 inch bore x 7.5inch stroke. The boiler pressure is 150 Pounds per square inch and it has 13 inch diameter driving wheels. The valve gear has roller bearings throughout as do the axle boxes. It was built to be re-gaugeable to 12.25 inch gauge if required. A complete overhaul was undertaken in 2015. The main improvement being the fitting of a new fire hole door and a special steel firebox arch, which greatly improved coal consumption. A major overhaul was completed in 2019 together with a repaint, and the boiler was re-tubed in 2020. Current boiler certificate until 8 February 2025.
