06008 - 0-4-0 shunter in Pullman livery
This little loco was purchased at the 2010 Warley Exhibition at the NEC for the princely sum of £5 brand new on the Hornby stand, a real bargin. It will be repainted in BR green livery sometime in the future.

09006 - 0-6-0 shunter in Mainline livery.
This Bachmann loco was purchased several years ago at a model railway exhibition at Brays Grove School in Harlow. It is a good runner but has developed a tendancy to throw crank pins and will need to be fixed before seeing further use. Will be repainted in BR green as well.
