8F's were used on the branch in BR days. There is a photo of one at Wirksworth in The Wirksworth Branch Book.

The branch will be able to take any BR preserved loco. The 8F's do not have a particularly high axle loading which is why they were chosen by the WD.

The 8F Group are happy to base their loco on the line from spring next year.

Best wishes,
