Although there were always long-term projects for new-builds of the L&B's Manning Wardle 2-6-2Ts and LYN the Baldwin engine, when the railway re-opened at Woody Bay in 2004 we had no steam locos of our own so had to hire them in. The Railway needed a steam engine of its own. That's why rebuilding Axe was so important.
