Was doing some research and came across this picture from Ebbw Vale Steelworks of a 16" Hunslet, allegedly works number 2082. (Photo is from the Ebbw Vale Works Museum Facebook Page).

Yes, this is HE 2082, sent away 24/10/1940, although this is a much later photo. it was back at Jack Lane for fitting of blast furnace anti glare and a horn in 1953 so the photo might have been taken after that.

For those awaiting the second batch of Hunslets, it would appear it'll be well into 2025 before they appear. Rapido expect delivery to be around 9 months after the order book closes, and the date for that currently isn't set.

 

I presume this is a combination of finalising liveries and awaiting a factory slot but that's just guesswork!
