This selection of rolling stock has clearly lay dormant for a long time, the most interesting of which is the ex military crene at the front of the line.

Thanks to @westernsultan (the master of all things trains) we know a little bit about this unit.

missing information including name of ship - believed to have sank, crane removed at some stage
converted from steam to diesel, and mounted for rail use for MOD – no more information
