Dock Shunter 5 inch (Light Industrial Electric)

This new loco for 2006 is also one of the smallest, yet it often rounds off a day of running whilst the steam engines are being cleaned down and can easily haul a full carriage of adults. This is based upon the same design as Jenny the dock shunter, but is 5inch scale.

Dock Shunter Jenny (Light Industrial Electric)

Introduced in 2004 was this 0-4-0 loco called Jenny and despite the design being more accustomed to shunting in a commercial yard, this loco is often seen at Bentley, occasionally on busy days or Saturdays, and is a regular attender at portable track events.

E6007 BR Class 73 (BR Class 73)

This loco has had a long history at Bentley starting out as a petrol-powered loco, with battery-electric power for use on indoor portable tracks, and for reverse-gear as the Honda moped-based power unit had a 3-speed forward only gearbox. After a major internal rebuild it has been converted to purely battery electric operation. The extra space generated by the removal of the petrol engine made room for 4 heavy duty batteries which were proven durable during the construction of the extension in 1994/95 and it is now often seen pulling public at bank holidays.

Goliath (Goliath)

This is the largest, and most powerful, battery-electric loco to have visited Bentley Miniature Railway. Despite living in Blackpool it's owner brought this loco down to Bentley several times between 2002-2004 and will be returning for the late August Bank-holiday in 2009 having completely revised the power source meanwhile. The design is based upon an American railroad F7 express diesel electric, and normally travels to Bentley complete with 3 or 4 passenger cars although could haul many more. It is hoped that this loco will be attending our 25th anniversary event.
