Isaac is a 2 foot gauge 0-4-2 Bagnall built as part of a batch of four locomotives in 1952/3 for a South African platinum mine. When the mine's railway was regauged to 3' 6" in 1982 the Bagnals were declared redundant so returned to the UK where all have been preserved. Restoration of Isaac was completed at the Ffestiniog Railway's Boston Lodge Works and moved to the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway at Woody Bay in 2013.
