Isabel
Isabel is an 0-4-0 saddle tank, based on the loco built in 1987 by W.G. Bagnall for the Cliffe Hill Granite Company of Markfield, Leicestershire. She was named after one of the quarry owner's daughters. After the quarry closed around 1946, Isabel was put on display by Bagnalls and was eventually restored to full working order by the Stafford Narrow Gauge Railway Society. She arrived at her new home, the Amerton railway, in 1991.
