The line-up included 12 Steam Locomotives, Ten of which were Great Western and Two LMS. To go along with the theme LMS Ivatt Class 2 46443 was renumbered to scrapped sister ex-Cambrian loco 46446. Originally the plan was 46443(6) would be the only LMS loco, sadly GWR 4-6-0 King Class 6024 'King Edward I' was due to visit the railway but broke down on the Torbay Express the Sunday before the event and so LMS Stainer Mougal 2-6-0 42968 was called upon and did 6024's rostered turns. The guest locomotives were 3440 'City of Truro' (Courtesy of the NRM and the GWSR), Small Prairies 5526 (Courtesy of 5526 Ltd. and the SDR) & 5542 (Courtesy of 5542 Ltd. and the GWSR) plus 9017 'Earl of Berkeley' (Courtesy of the Bluebell Railway).
