    Hi Folks,

    Am I right in thinking that the ex-Durley Light Railway Hanomag Brigadelok no. 8310 is still at Schinznacher Baumschulbahn? I gather it was sold there in 2017 but doesn't appear on their website in the list of steam locomotives. I remember her fondly from Durley (rode on the footplate a few times).

    I believe so, and have no reason to think otherwise. It went with another Brigadelok in the deal which brought the ex SAR Garratt to the VoR.

    8282 was at the same location as 8310 before she went to the Schinznacher Baumschulbahn, but I heard she may have been harvested for parts for 8310 and the remainder scrapped - does anyone know more?

    I'm also curious as to the location of the UK based Henschel Brigadeloks:
    14676 - was at the West Lancashire Light Railway but I think has moved on since then?
    14928 - was a Statfold but has moved on since then
    15540 - was at Penrhyn but obviously not there now

    Am I right in thinking that Maffei built Brigadelok 4766 is still at the Vale of Rheidol, and that Krauss built Brigadelok 7455 is at the Leighton Buzzard?

    As you might have guessed I have a thing for these locos - I can count the number of cab rides I've had in a 2' loco on one hand and nothing was quite the same as 8310s
