GWR Large Prairie 2-6-2T No. 4110 is leaving the West Somerset Railway as it has been sold to the Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway in Devon. This is due to the West Somerset unable to find a way to keep the locomotive with them sadly. No. 4110 will be restored to running order and be part of the Dartmouth Steam Railways steam fleet. But it will visit the West Somerset for Gala visits at no extra cost.
