List of Isle of Wight Steam Railway locomotives and rolling stock


This is a comprehensive list of rolling stock of the Isle of Wight Steam Railway at Havenstreet, Isle of Wight.

Steam locomotives

Havenstreet currently boasts a surplus of ex-Wight railway network stalwarts & industrial tank engine designs. More are being restored all the time, covering for other locomotives as they themselves are taken out of service. In the near future, additional classes from the mainland may be brought in for when the railway expands its operations.

Diesel locomotives

Three diesel shunters are currently in the custody of the railway, all of which have run a majority of service trains, as opposed to the usual steam-hauled passenger services.

Operational

Multiple Units

Coaching stock

All of the railway's operational coaches have been built to a pre-grouping design. These have been restored by the skilled Havenstreet staff and are the envy of many Southern Region preserved railways.

IWR coaches

The stock collection includes a small set of original Isle of Wight Railway passenger stock.
