A four wheeled diesel mechanical loco built by John Fowler in 1948. It was supplied New to Rajkot State Electric Supply Co and was later used on Rajkot Beti Tramways then Saurashtra Railway.

IR ZDM-1 class 704, a Bo-Bo diesel hydraulic loco built by Jung in 1955. New to Indian Railways and part of a batch of five locos, all used on the Kalka Simla Railway. When they were replaced by CLW built ZDM-3s from 1970, all five locos were withdrawn and regauged to 2ft 0in gauge for use on the Matheran Light Railway. This loco was trialled unsuccessfully on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. In 1972 it reverted back to 2ft 6in gauge and was sent to Pragati Maidan in New Delhi. This was the site of an international exhibition, which had 18 exhibition halls on an 150-acre site. Indian Railways had a permanent presence in one of these halls from 1972 to 2001. As part of this they had an approximately 1.5km line, laid in a figure of eight around the exhibition hall. This loco operated a pleasure train ride on this line using purpose built coaches. When Indian Railways closed their exhibition pavilion in 2001, the loco and coaching stock was transferred to the NRM.

NG 2' Locomotives

DHR B class 18 (IR later renumbered it as #777), a 0-4-0ST built by Sharp Stewart in 1889. One of the original locos in the museum, it was preserved as an example of a very successful small hill locomotive. It was planned that 779 was to be preserved but this locomotive replaced it.

A 0-4-0ST built by W G Bagnall in 1897. This was supplied new to Assam Railway & Trading Co as a 0-4-2ST, originally named HASANG. One of the original exhibits it was donated by Coal India from their Ledo Brickworks in Assam. Originally two of its sister locos were considered for donation, both of which have now been preserved (at the Coal India museum in Margherita and Indian Oil Corporation Ltd’s museum in Digboi).

Matheran Light Railway, 2 (late IR's ML class, #739), a 0-6-0T built by Orenstein & Koppel in 1907, Another of the original exhibits that was preserved as a unique example of a Maxward/Kleine-Linder articulated locomotive.

Matheran Light Railway 899. The identity of this 14-seat railcar is uncertain. It has always been quoted as Dodge/Koppel as it has chain and drive built by Dodge and body work built by Koppel. Its build date has been quoted as either 1927 or 1932. It has also been suggested that it is a conversion of a road vehicle. Its probable identity is Brookville 1202/1928 – this was a 2ft 0in gauge, 2 ton, unidentified Dodge powered vehicle supplied to the Matheran Light Railway.

MG Locomotives

E 207. The true identity of this is not the one that its works plate suggests. D 1175 was part of a batch of twenty-two locomotives (1174-95) supplied as 0-4-2's by Dübs & Co, Glasgow in 1878 to the Indian State Railway line, Rajputana State Railway. They were classified as E class locomotives, first numbered Nos. 102-23 and later renumbered as 230-51. In 1885-86, Nos. 230 (D 1174), 231 (D 1175), 237 (D 1179), 237 (D 1181) and 250 (D 1194) were transferred to the Jodhpur-Bikaner Railway. They retained their Indian State Railway numbers but they were now prefixed with a 0. In 1912, 0250 was converted to a saddle tank locomotive. In 1914-15, three more ex-Indian State Railway E class locomotives from Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway were transferred to the Jodhpur-Bikaner Railway. They were Indian State Railway Nos. 174 & 175 (from a batch of fifty locomotives built by Neilson & Company, Leeds in 1876-77) and 203 (from a batch of twenty-one built by Vulcan Foundry in 1877-78). By 1919 all these eight E class locomotives had been renumbered 0200-07, the saddle tank locomotive being 0207. When the Jodhpur-Bikaner Railway was divided in 1924, 0207 became a Jodhpur Railway locomotive. The Jodhpur Railway became the property of the Government of Rajasthan in 1949. It was integrated into Indian Railways in 1950 becoming part of Northern Railway. The locomotive was withdrawn in 1952. It is therefore suggested that this locomotive is in fact D 1194/78 fitted with the works plate of D 1175 – this locomotive was E class, No 0201. It came from Jodhpur.

Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway F1 class 734, an 0-6-0 built at Ajmer in 1888. Probably the first locomotive built at Ajmer Works.
