    I know that (I think) eight locos were preserved at Butlins Holiday Camps, although none of them are there now.

    Is there a list of these locos and their current homes, please?

    Thanks.

    Thank you Sir Billy. It would have been a lot duller without these.

    46100 is ex-Skegness. It is actually No. 6152 The King's Dragoon Guardsman with which it swapped identity in 1933 because of an upcoming visit to Canada and the USA.
    Granville is ex-Ayr.

    I'm not sure when it left the holiday camp but I found it nearby in the goods shed at Williton in July 1977. I sneaked a picture - which I may have posted once before - through a crack in the wooden door. 77-7-14 18a 32678 copy.jpg

    It left Butlins in 1975.

    Interestingly the Terrier Trust omits this in its history instead stating that it went to
    RESCO in 1975 but this isn’t correct as your photo shows, and it was in fact 1983 it moved there from WSR.

    So Butlins saved the Princess Royal class from extinction?

    Also worth noting both 46100 and 46233 spent about 2o years at Bressingham after leaving the Butlins sites.

    No 6201 was bought directly from BR by the 6210 Princess Elizabeth Society.

    I didn't think that Butlins had more than 2 locos at any site. Wasn't Granville at Skegness with 6100? FWIW here's an indifferent slide scan of 6203 and 32640 at Pwhelli camp in Oct 1969. At least someone cared and has wrapped the motion and covered the chimneys for the winter.

    What was the last loco owned by Butlins? I believe a lot of them transferred to preservation sites on loan, and remained in Butlins ownership for some years afterwards.

    Had a quick look online and apparently Martello, Granville, 6100 and 6233 were still owned by Butlins until 1989 - by then they wished to dispose of them and they sold all 4 locos to Bressingham (at the time, all of them were based there).
