BR 4MT 4-6-0 No. 75014 'Braveheart' waits in a siding alongside the Paignton & Dartmouth platform to head a departure later on. These medium sized modern steam locomotives were a useful addition to the fleet in the 1950's immediately prior to diesel locomotives taking over their work. Several have been preserved for use on heritage railways.
