Darts
Bentley plays host to two G.W.R. Darts. The oldest, numbered 1466, took part in the 1999 Seven and a Quarter Locomotive
Efficiency Competion (SEQLEC) which was hosted at Bentley. The locomotive proudly returned home in third position in this
trial sponsored by the Model Engineer magazine. During the summer, particularly the August Wednesdays, this locomotive can often be seen running
at Bentley. The second Dart also originally numbered 1466 but now renumbered 1401 and identified by the small crest on it's tanks, is
a more recent addition only being completed during 2003, but has regularly been seen running on summer Sundays and major events ever since.
