The company previously owned these locomotives:

Restored by SLL, and subsequently sold to Jeremy Hosking. Port Line was moved to Southall for overhaul prior to Main Line operation. It has recently moved to Ian Riley's workshop. It featured in the 1988 BBC series The Train Now Departing which can be seen here. Note the section between 7 and 16 minutes into the program in which the loco is being steamed at Swindon by a youthful Willie Bath. Photo Archive
