Basil
Based on a Bagnall design, this 0-4-0 saddle tank made its first appearance at Bentley back in 2004. Since then Basil has become one of the regular locomotives to be seen at the miniature railway.

Black 5
Based upon the design of the very popular L.M.S.R. main line passenger carrying locomotive, this 4-6-0 has done great service and has certainly proven that it can pull large trains with ease. This locomotive returned to service late in 2005 following an extensive overhaul and may be seen occasionally running on the railway during the summer months.

Black Swan
A powerful locomotive capable of hauling many loaded carriages, Black Swan entered regular service on the Bentley Miniature Railway in 2007. This locomotive, built to a design based upon the popular "Thomas II" type, was built by Richards Engineering in 1997 with 0-4-2 wheel arrangement, outside cylinders, Walschearts valve gear and a large fully braked bogie tender.

Buffalo
This 2-8-0 has become one of our most frequent steamers. It is based upon a Canadian National Railway prototype and as befits a locomotive from North America, it has been seen pulling long trains with ease. A few years ago it underwent major works to change all the wheel tyres, which had distorted out of true due to uneven wear (a characteristic of the original steel used).

Elaine
Elaine portrays a one third scale model of a Hunslet designed 0-4-0 saddle tank of the "Alice" or "Port" class, so typical of those which operated in the old Welsh slate quarries. Its design with a short 4 wheel chassis enables it to pull heavy trains around tight curves. The locomotive is cabless as befitted the full-size locomotives when operating on the upper galleries in the quarries.

Emma & Apollo
These two 0-4-2T locomotives were first seen at Bentley in 2002. Built to the "Tinkerbell" design, these enclosed cab locomotives are expected to be seen regularly hauling passengers throughout the summer months. Sisters from the same works, Emma is the yellow one and Apollo the chocolate coloured one.

Flying Scotsman
Currently in the workshops for a major overhaul, this magnificent 7¼ inch gauge Pacific 4-6-2 locomotive was built in the 1930s and has been with the current owner for nearly 40 years. It is an accurate model of No 4472 "Flying Scotsman", the sole survivor of the 79 London North Eastern Railway A3 Class locomotives designed by Sir Nigel Gresley in 1923.

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.

Hercules
Hercules is our Club steam locomotive, all the others are owned by Club members. This relatively small 0-4-0 saddle tank usually steams during the summer months and occasionally performs on our portable track when we appear at local events. Compared to the standard "Hercules" design the locomotive has a slightly larger firebox coupled to a lengthened boiler which requires replacement before it can be steamed again.

Jasmine
Like Elaine, Jasmine portrays a one third scale model of a Hunslet designed 0-4-0 saddle tank of the "Alice" or "Port" class typical of those which operated in the old Welsh slate quarries. Its design with a short 4 wheel chassis enables it to pull heavy trains around tight curves. Jasmine has recently undergone a repaint into a new livery having just had a new steel boiler fitted.

Kerr Stuart Wren
This locomotive was built in 1994 and has seen regular service on the railway ever since. It is a model of the little Kerr Stuart narrow gauge 0-4-0 locomotive which used to run in the old L.N.W.R. workshops at Crewe. In 2002 the locomotive was named "Bill Powell" in memory of it's late builder.

Lorna
This locomotive is a scratch built scale model of a Great Central Railway Class 12A 2-4-0 (Ex Sacre M.S. & L.R. outside framed Class E3). Lorna took nine years to build and despite its small size it has proven that it is perfectly capable of hauling up to 30 passengers.

Rhian
Rhian is has been constructed to the very popular and powerful "Romulus" design by Don Young, a narrow gauge 0-4-0 arrangement, and is the most frequently seen of the Romulii that steam at Bentley. Completed in 2006 the locomotive hauls three coach trains with ease.

Richard Thomas
B.R. Mixed Traffic Class 2, 2-6-0 78064 is a new addition to the locomotive fleet to be seen frequently running on the Bentley Miniature Railway. In real life 65 of this the smallest of the B.R. standard types were constructed with 78064 the last in the series. In miniature, this locomotive is fairly rare with only a handful of this prototype being built to use on 7¼ inch gauge.

Romulus I
This locomotive has been constructed to the very popular and powerful "Romulus" design by Don Young, a narrow gauge 0-4-0 arrangement. Romulus has a large six-wheeled tender and has recently undergone major work to the boiler.

Scots Guardsman
Number 6115 "Scots Guardsman" in real life is one of only two of the original 70 Royal Scot Class 4-6-0's still in existence. The first 50 of the original locomotives were built in 1927 by the North British Locomotive Company in less than a year - this 7¼ inch gauge model, which was completed in 2008, took nine years! All the original locomotives were rebuilt with tapered boilers by Sir William Stanier commencing in 1943. Scots Guardsman was unique in being the only rebuilt locomotive to run with the characteristic smoke deflectors for a few months late in 1947 whilst still being an L.M.S.R. locomotive, before the creation of British Railways. As such the model is painted in the L.M.S.R. lined glossy black livery - a change from the more usual B.R. green.

Sweet Pea (5" gauge)
This locomotive, built to the 5 inch gauge Sweet Pea design is now seldom seen at Bentley, but was one of the earliest locomotives to run on the railway soon after the current track was laid.

Tom Rolt (5" gauge)
Based on the Talyllyn Railway 0-4-2T design, this 5 inch gauge version, which first visited us in 2001, had the honour of hauling the 100,000th ticket holder in September of that year. it is a powerful little engine, and usually appears on summer Saturday afternoons.

Tom Rolt
Based on the Talyllyn Railway 0-4-2T design, this much larger, more powerful, 7¼ inch gauge locomotive was introduced in 2007 and has since been seen running regularly thereafter.
