Exmoor Steam Railway

Various shot of the resident 0-4-2 Tender tank locomotive Denzil.

The Exmoor Steam Railway ran at Bratton Fleming on Exmoor in North Devon and was built by the Stirland Family and opened in August 1990. It sadly closed to the public in 2001 when the family decided to concentrate on building steam engines and railways.

The railways at Exmoor are of two main gauges. The railway built to take visitors around the gardens is 12.25 inch gauge. The resident steam engine is an 0-4-2 Tender tank Locomotive Denzil Built in 1995.

A number of locomotives have run here either on trial before delivery or prior to re gauging for other railways. There are bogie coaches and bogie wagons available for use on this railway. Short sections of 10.25 & 15 inch gauge track are also present for testing new locomotives.

The works at Exmoor build their locomotives from scratch including the boilers to a very high standard. They have also advised and assisted many people to set up or expand public and private railways.

@Stephiiee96 This is not my footage but seeing as they have passengers this must have been before 2001. They still have trains at the railway but they mainly build new ones instead of being open to the public.
