No.7 'Toby,' as photographed in March 2012. Originally purchased as a means of justifying the railway's namesake, the locomotive performed relatively well at first. With small trains of stone or the odd passenger service, the locomotive ran well and looked the part. This is a line where locomotives like this really do look right at home. Unfortunately, a weak motor mechanism installed in this locomotive has rendered it unusable at the moment, resulting in its current status as a static exhibit.

The side profile of the locomotive - other authorities like S.A.C. Martin have gone into detail on this locomotive already - all I will state is that everything they state and show is entirely truthful when viewed in person.

The rear of the locomotive, showing off the further detail to looks given here. Overall a nice-looking engine, plagued by a weaker mechanism - a shame given everything else about it.
