No. 5199	GWR 5101 Class 2-6-2T	5199 spent most of her service career on GWR's Birmingham suburban lines, working local passenger trains. She was retired in 1963 when steam services were taken over by railcars, and remained in storage at Barry Scrapyard for 22 years. Her first home in preservation was the GWSR, where restoration was originally started, but she moved to Long Marston MoD and later Llangollen for the completion of her overhaul, finally returning to steam in 2003. She emerged from her 10-year overhaul in November 2014 and entered traffic on 6th December (the same year) for the Santa Specials. Boiler ticket will expire in 2024. It is in use quite regularly and it is one of the main working locomotives of the railway.	BR Unlined Black with Early Crest.	5199 Project.	1934	FW
No. 6430	GWR 6400 Class 0-6-0PT	The 6400 series of pannier tanks were equipped to operate autotrains. 6430 was built at Swindon Works,[1] completed in February 1937 and entered service in March 1937, the first of its class to have a whistle shield. It spent many years in Wales, although it was based at Laira from the 19 May 1962. On the 9 February 1963 it was moved to Tondu followed on the 6 April 1963 to Exmouth Junction and then to Yeovil Town on the 30 November 1963 from where it worked until it was condemned on 2 October 1964. On 5 June 1966, it started its career in preservation, moving initially to the Dart Valley Railway.[2] However, it recently made a return to the Dart Valley Railway to cover for a locomotive shortage.[3] It also appeared in some of the earliest scenes of 'Five Go to Rehab' (Gold TV November 2012).
