    You won't see alot of 30841. She was cannibalised to provide parts for 825 including the boiler as 841's frames were out of true or cracked (I can't remember! #-o ) But the frames are alongside the long siding past Grosmont MPD.
    44767 and 76084 are under overhaul/ restoration at Ian Storey's works at Hepscott, after their overhaul/restoration is complete they will be based on the NYMR.

    31806 is on the Watercress Line, as it has been since the late 1970s. It's currently under overhaul and expected back in traffic in the next year or so, all things being equal. Where did you think she was?

    30499 (or at least, her bottom half) returned to the MHR earlier this year, having been to Ian Riley's works. Not sure about her boiler, but I think you'll find the details on the MHR web site.

    35018 has been on the Isle of Portland for 5 years or more, and there has been quite a lot of discussion of this loco on this board in the recent past. See what you can find with the search facility (you may need to ask the mods to give you access to the archives).

    92212 has been at the MHR for a few years, and is also under overhaul atm. There's a great picture of her tube plate in the Loco Shed section of the web site, posted a few days ago.

    What's your source for loco locations? It must be pretty old not to have correct details for some of these locos.

    Hopefully this list is up to date.
    GWR 5539 Llangollen Railway (I think)
    GWR 4979 belongs to the Furness Railway Trust bit not sure where it's located at the moment since the Trust has been asked to vacate the L&HR.
    GWR 5952 at the Cambrian Railways Trust in Oswestry (well it was the last time I saw it anyway)
    GWR 5967 Northampton & Lamport Railway
    GWR 4121 Tyseley
    GWR 5668 Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway
    GWR 6634 LNWR Crewe
    GWR 9629 last time I saw it, it was plinthed outside a hotel in Cardiff but I'm sure it's moved to Blaenavon since.
