    Couple of things, Joe Nemeth's website no longer has his news of progress on restoring his 2ft gauge O & K loco - has he sold it, and does anyone know where it has gone to?

    Secondly, the latest "Old Glory" reports the importation of for narrow gauge locos, two O & K steam and two diesel, from S. America. Does anyone have any idea where these are destined for? Or are they for a dealer initially?

    Isn't it a Jung? If so it is at Statfold Barn. (I don't know if he has sold it or moved it there for work or what).

    As for the 2 imports, my sources tell me there a 3 steam and 2 diesel also a load of stationary engines came in the consignment, not sure what is happening to them though

    I've been asking around and I understand that the locos are already here in the UK (somewhere in the black country) and will be offered for sale so I guess their location will come to light sooner or later. Locos are ex Peru, 600 or 610mm gauge:

    Steam:

    "VERACRUZ" 0-6-0WT OC OK 11009 of 1925
    0-4-0WT OC OK 9922 of 1922
    0-4-0WT OC OK 10701 of 1924

    Diesel:

    "VENTILLATA" 0-6-0DH OK 25996 of 1960
    0-4-0DM Ruhrthaler 3526 of 1958

    O&Ks are always in a bad way. They seem to be disposable engines, not exactly built to last like say a nice Hunslet.
