No.7 "Spitfire". History
The locomotive was built specifically for the railway by Winson Engineering and delivered to the railway
at Whitsun, 1994.
In 2005 the locomotive was partially rebuilt in order to improve its efficiency, returning to traffic in
March 2006.
The design is loosely based on the Indian Railway 'ZB' class of locomotive.
The locomotive is owned by one individual and is on a long term loan to the railway.
