This Loco was also rescued from a scrapyard, She was found in pieces and when contacting the old owners, Lion works Collieries, they found out why, she had fallen 20ft down a weak point in the rails and landed ,on her left side, in the mine... Both fireman and driver were rescued with minor injurys But the loco itself was sent to the scrapyard after the owners relised she was not worth saving, If ,As was planned, she was scrapped the whole class of Just 12 would be wiped from the Face of the Earth and No One would have of even known That is exept for The Owners Of Stockdale On Sea, They had done their Homework and had set out for this particular Locomotive Knowing she Had been sent to scrap Yard as the last of a very Reliable and Manouvarable Class but they Had not Bargained for Her to be in such a bad condition.

J39 Steam locomotive No.64838

The Biggest Frieght loco on the line, she was bought from a railway which was closing due to debt and needed to sell its locos cheaply and quickly so they sold it to us. She now heads most freight trains and also heads the smaller pullman train when '101' is pulling the 4 wheelers. If she were Not saved she would have been sold for scrap, Incidently If she was scrapped she would have ended up In the same Place as BR 1101 Class as they were both Due for scrap at around the same Date. That is of coarse If they weren't Saved. 

GWR King Class 'King Edward The First' 

A Brand new express passenger locomotive bought to help ease the workload for the rest of the locomotives in busier periods during summer and winter, Originally a Locomotive from Ridley this Locomotive was used a fair amount of times untill her owner decided she wasnt worth keeping as she was too expensive and not reliable enough, When it came for Ridley to sell her the Driver and fireman just couldnt part with the locomotive and decided to buy her, so they did and kept her in a siding at the Railway until recently when they decided that they would rather see her working and having a stretch than see her rusting in  siding so sold her To Stockdale On Sea where her power is being put to extensive use pulling alot of passenger and even some freight around the small Railway.
