The home fleet consists of a number of railway-owned and privately-owned engines. Nearly all of these locomotives have been built in or with the assistance of the Moors Valley Railway (and previously, Tucktonia) workshop.
The railway is the home of Tinkerbell, the first 7¼″ gauge locomotive which the driver sat in, rather than behind. This prototype went on to spawn many variations, which have transformed and expanded over the years to produce locomotives with even greater proportions and power not normally seen on 7¼″ gauge railways.
