Rolling stock of the mid-Suffolk light railway

• LNER Class J64 (the reclassification of the original 3 MSLR engines)
• LNER Class J65
• LNER Class J15

The museum currently has six locomotives on site, three operational steam engines, and "1604" which is under restoration and owned by the MSLR. It also has two Ruston diesels; a 165 named "Alston" and a Ruston 48, which is very similar to the engine used to take up the railway.

Some signs of the original rolling stock is visible in the countryside surrounding the railway. One example is a semi-derelict carriage on farmland near Mendlesham at (52.249007°N 1.0601738°E / 52.249007; 1.0601738). It may be seen on Google maps satellite view.

The railway owns a few vintage Great Eastern covered vans, one LNER van, a special LNER survivor; a 'Toad B' brake van No. 157787, due to the mass amount of vans and minuscule open wagons, the MSLR built a replica open wagon to a GER design in 2012.
