The visiting locomotive is 2678 is an A1X “Terrier” Class 0-6-0 tank engine built in 1880 by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway and then known as No. 78 “Knowle”. As No 78, the locomotive entered service on 23 July 1880. Between that date and the formation of the Southern Railway in 1923, "Knowle" ran an incredible total for a small engine of nearly a million miles. For a short period in the early 1930s, it saw service on the lighter lines of the Isle of Wight, for which it was fitted with an extended bunker, becoming No.14 Bembridge.

British Railways 9F No.92214 passes Woolsten Moor on the 19th September 2004 operating a Minehead - Bishops Lydeard service during the West Somerset Railway Autumn Steam Gala Weekend. No.92214 was built at Swindon in October 1959 and after a few weeks at Cardiff Canton, it was allocated, in November, to Banbury where it was used to haul the heavy ironstone trains from the Oxfordshire quarries to the steel works in South Wales. No doubt while at Banbury it picked up some of the traffic coming off the Great Central via Culworth Junction. While at Banbury it was also employed on the fast goods services to Old Oak Common.| In November 1961 No.92214 was transferred to Newport (Ebbw Junction) to haul coal and mineral traffic in the South Wales area. In the summer of 1964 it was allocated to Bath Green Park to help with the holiday excursions over the Somerset & Dorset. It is believed that No.92214 was the last 9F to operate over the line from Bath to Bournemouth.
