The Fleet
Locomotives
Moors Valley Railway is home to one of the largest collections of 7¼″ narrow gauge locomotives in the UK, with 19 steam locomotives and 2 diesel.
Many of the locomotives have been built in the Moors Valley Railway workshop, and a 20th steam locomotive is currently under construction.
The railway is the home of Tinkerbell, the first 7¼″ gauge locomotive which the driver sat in, rather than behind. This prototype went on to spawn many variations, which have transformed and expanded over the years to produce locomotives with even greater proportions and power not normally seen on 7¼″ gauge railways.
