Several locos go to make up my static display, these being:

Class 03 Shunter D2280 has been part of both my layouts since the start of the first build in 1999 - although little used on either layout. Notwithstanding, in common with many of my Bachmann locos that incorporate conductive wheel bearings, it has adopted a "fully disabled lump" when running. Ergo, D2280 had been relegated to being a member of the "static display team". However, it occurred to me in the last few days that a diesel loco (as opposed to steam) should be at the front of the crane and recovery kit on the basis that it might well be required in an emergency - and so should be ready to go, rather than waiting to be "fired". J72 68727 has been retired to a quiet corner of the layout - meanwhile, I am on the lookout for a replacement 03 Shunter.

Standard 4 Loco 75075 was a "previously owned" purchase by my wife when she attended the first of two "toy fairs". Having opened the box of my present, a cursory inspection of the underside of the loco was enough to persuade me that I would need to create a new area on the layout for static display. I am not aware that 75075 ever had any connection with Clacton, or even Essex.

The second (and last) "previously owned" toy fair purchase by my wife. My first look was enough to book a further place in the static display.
