Could someone be really helpful and list what has happened to all the 10? I know the Hall and 48xxx are, in effect, either no more, or changed. But the rest, such as the 9F and 6686, I have no clue where they've gone. Thanks.

2861 - At Llangollen. Cylinder block going towards 47XX. Bogie earmarked for 38XX Project. No1 to Didcot to assist with sizing of components on Saint. Further parts maybe utilised on GWS project in Future, but nothing else confirmed to date.

4115 - Broken Up. Wheels & Extension & Frames gone to 4709. Boiler to 6634. Frames moved to Tyseley.

5227 - On display at Didcot as Barry Hulk. Axleboxes and Hornties given to 4709 and replaced with wooden dummies. Boiler / Axleboxes / Hornguides / Bogie earmarked for 38XX Project.

5538 - Under restoration Dean Forest Railway using spare boiler (did have a wooden boiler at Barry).

5539 - Under restoration at Llangollen Railway.

6686 - Stored at Barry former EWS Depot. Plans to be restored for Barry Island Railway.

7927 - Broken Up. Frames & Wheels gone to County Project. Boiler to Grange.

(4)4901 - Awaiting restoration at GWSR following purchase by a group based there. Boiler sold to Ian Riley though, with 8F boiler from Turkey being negotiated for as replacement along with a tender.

(4)8518 - Boiler to County Project. Wheels to (4)8624. Brake gear + Pony Wheel + Axleboxes to Patriot. Cylinders to Ian Riley. Frames stored at ELR?

80150 - Awaiting restoration at Mid Hants Railway.

92245 - Stored at Barry Depot. Plans are to use as display of a scrap condition locomotive.

 

Good question Fireline and many thanks Lil Bear for completing the picture; I knew the current status of some of the "Barry 10" but your data filled in the gaps, thank you.

 

Did I see somewhere that the frames of the 8F are at the ELR

 

Thank you Lil Bear. You've made my day with that.

I understand the cylinders have been taken for use on a class 5 (don't ask me which)

 

I have a secret desire to see 44901 rebuilt as a caprotti 5..............:spy:

 

Your wrong about 44901. There are very much plans for this loco. Its being finalized with the council at the moment.

 

I've plans for 92245 when my Euromillions win comes in

 

Hopefully not being broken for spares/new build?

 

Could I use the remains of 44901 to build a B16? I know the boiler will need modification but I'm following the GWS method of using bits of various locos and modifying them to assemble something that looks like what I'm trying to build. Incidentally the B16 New Build Group needs around £30,000 and it'll be running by summer 2013.

Joking of course!
I'm assuming that '901 is little more than frames, and possibly the cylinders & boiler are by now, the only parts of her with life left in them?

 

Last photo I saw of 44901 showed that some of the motion is still on it.

 

901 is to be restored in her own right. Not any rebuild newbuild scheme. Of course I'm not saying nout till I hear any deals have been done.Oh and its nothing to do with the patriot project or any other railways I'm involved in. I just know who is buying her.

 

I would love to see that too.

OK, rephrase it to nothing has been announced publicly. I have heard there were plans afoot for her but I didn't know any details had been released.


For those interested btw, 4115 main frames are moving to Tyseley and 5227 arrived at Llangollen last week ready for removing what is required for 47XX. Watch out for the 47XX, as this is one project that is going to fly.

 

I do hope that the 47xx project does "fly". Its a project I thought would not have financial backing (since for one thing these locos were a spotter's nightmare and very few were built anyway)but I understand this is not the case so am happy to be wrong! That said, railway heritage supporters are not used to projects "flying" since both 2999 and the new County are still not running yet. Patience is everything. But, progress on the "new" Hawksworth County has been amazing in recent months. I know this locomotive project produces mixed opinions but the adopted home of GWR heritage has an excellent reputation and I for one will be most impressed with the finished product no doubt.
Regarding the Black 5 (44901) I too understand that its future as a working loco is relatively bright but I know no more than that and have seen no "official" announcements. It will be great to see it restored.

 

44901? Best place for that would be a certain Black 5 depot in Lancashire. If anyone can fettle it back into life, they can!

 

Let Mr Smith get on with "Galatea" Martin!!!

There's another bloke up there.....
