Steam Locomotives
Great Western Pannier tanks were the staple motive power of the Severn and Wye route, with their notable ability to haul heavy loads up steep gradients and on tight curves. In 2020, the DFR is home to two of these capable locomotives, numbers 9681 and 9682. As well as these, the line hosts a range of locomotives, most notably our flagship Small Prairie no. 5541 which can often be seen hauling passenger services.
