The Trust's largest and heaviest museum exhibit is former SDJR 7F 2-8-0, No. 88. Restored from scrapyard condition between 1969 and 1987, this splendid Somerset locomotive subsequently provided the mainstay of the West Somerset Railway's motive power for 8¾ years. The locomotive underwent a protracted overhaul since 1996, completed in late 2005.

No. 88 is on fully-repairing lease to the West Somerset Railway plc until 30 April 2020.
