The Highland Locomotive Company own two steam locomotives based at the Strathspey Railway. They are:
- Former British Railways Locomotive Number 46512, a 2-6-0 tender engine with a simple 2 cylinder locomotive. It was designed for the London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) and built by British Railways at Swindon Works in 1952. The locomotive was designed by George Ivatt to replace many of the ageing 0-6-0 engines that the LMS used to work on secondary duties and on rural branches. Now named "E.V. Cooper Engineer", after the engineer who led the restoration.
- Former Wemyss Private Railway Number 17, an 0-6-0 tank engine built by Andrew Barclay Sons & Co. at Kilmarnock in 1935 (works number 2017) for hauling coal trains in Fife. Named "Braeriach" after a local mountain. Currently (2016) located at Aviemore awaiting overhaul.
