Diagonal compound by Cox of Falmouth and used on the former Dart steamer Compton Castle. The still in service Kingswear Castle has a more or less identical engine.

This section of the display was closed and disbanded some years ago. This engine was acquired by the Paignton and Dartmouth Railway (operators of the Kingswear Castle) and is currently stored at Kingswear. There are plans to place it on display.
