Well if it is finished soon there'll be a scope for a PLA class event with S102 and 1857, currently at WSR. There's also 'Firefly' at Meldon but that seems to have gone off the radar somewhat ....

Thanks, hadn't realised S100 was at Peak as well as S102. Has S100 run in preservation? I remember it being at YDR but thats nearly 50 years ago, probably straight out of NCB service .

'Warrior' was certainly in a dismatled state, as the press release says. 'Wilbert' is obviously in one piece as per the pic. My guess as to the ID of the other Austerity you mention would be NCB 65, HE3889/64....

Given 'Warrior' has been at DFR for over 40 years the interesting question is why sell it now? Perhaps the market has spiked? Anyhow, it'll be wonderful to see it again in steam. The last time for me was my 9th birthday and I had a footplate ride.
