On the preserved South Devon Railway a short goods train is heading for Totnes behind No 1369. No. 1369 is the sole survivor of the 6 members of the 1366 class. The class was built for Cornish dock shunting to replace ageing Cornwall Mineral Railway locomotives. It was built in 1934 and originally worked at Swindon Works and then on the Weymouth Quay Branch. It was then transferred to the Wenford Bridge china clay branch in Cornwall. It retired in 1964 and is now preserved at the South Devon Railway.
