    1501 & the first two of 9466 are at Bewdley SVR. The second two of 9466 look like Steam on the Met somewhere. These are the same photo with the first one reversed & the second one "polorized"?
    I think most of the other preservation ones are on the South Devon Railway or P&DSR.

    6435 is at Paignton - the park in the background is behind the track in Paignton Station.
    6412 is at Minehead with the shed in the background.

    The Steam on the Met photo of 9466 was taken at Chorleywood Station with the loco heading a northbound train for Amersham. The date is 1995 or later because the the air brake pipework hanging off the running plate is the installation that was manufactured during the mid 90s overhaul that was completed just in time for the 1995 SotM event.

    The picture at http://www.steamlocomotives.photos.gb.net/p64929252.html was taken at Quainton Road soon after the original restoration in 1985 judging by the condition of the loco and the surroundings in which it is posing.

    Regards to all,

    Bruce Murray
