The locomotive is Spirit of Adventure, an 0-6-0T built in 1994 by Exmoor Steam Railway and the first engine on the line. The line is 15" gauge. The railway offers an estate railway experience that allows teams of enthusiasts to 'run' their own estate railway for a day. This is an exercise in logistics has trains have to be assembled and shunted to transport items around the estate in the most efficient way. The team starts the day on maximum points and it's all down hill from there as points are lost for each error. This sounds enormous fun and is really hands on but if I recall correctly it is quite pricey.
