Attaching two photos of the engines which were taken in 1989. Does anyone have any more recent photos and has the engine now been fully restored?  Any info would be welcome.

Hi.
I believe that they are under cover close to Hazlemere in Surrey, at least they were a few years ago when I last visited the steam attraction there. They were pretty rusty but safe.
Visit this site you will see them listed.

They are at Hollycombe steam collection.

When I visited, probably about 15 years ago, they were occasionally steamed using a hose from the boiler powering a nearby steam sawmill.

Thankyou to you both for the information. I have not been to Holleycombe but I will contact them to see if they have any new information regarding the engine. Posting two other photos which were sent to me years ago.

Engine still at Hollycombe. They are located in a purpose build building but not restored. Covered with primer to protect them . .
