The locomotives in service on 15 Sep 2019 were GWR 5600 class number 5619, Andrew Barclay 0-6-0ST number 2138 "Swordfish", BR Class 08 number D3261, and BR Class 09 number D3668. They also decided to give their BR class 97/6, number PWM651 a run. Having a brake van ride was the star attraction. However Swordfish had steaming problems, so number 5619 came to the rescue.
