==Locomotives and multiple units== {{More citations needed section|date=August 2021}} The ELR is home to a mixed collection of small to large designs, some of which are main-line certified. These often visit other heritage lines or can be found operating mainline excursions, especially during the summer season (March–October). ===Steam locomotives=== ====Operational==== {| class="wikitable" !
