PenrithBeacon Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Wikipedia says that only one of these is preserved, that in Brazil. Is Wiki right or are there more elsewhere? Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Australia http://www.wdlr.org.uk/wdlr/preservedaus.htm And, 1215 is under restoration at Shildon, I think Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearholmer Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Snap! But, I've just realised that it is probably at apedale now, so you can see it while hunting down the other loco. K Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall5 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Wikipedia says that only one of these is preserved, that in Brazil. Is Wiki right or are there more elsewhere? Regards I'm afraid Wiki's got it wrong again. Apart from 1215 which was repatriated to the U.K. from Australia and is now well on it's way to running again four more remain in Oz, 1218, 1229?(incorporating parts of 1240/8/50), 1239 and 1317. 1265 (sans boiler and now i/c propelled) survives in Israel and there is/was another at Burma Mines. There were several post WW1 built 2'6"g. 'cousins' in Nepal that still existed albeit derelict recently. The full list is here: http://www.wdlr.org.uk/wdlr/hunslet.htm Ray.

EddieB Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Here is one of the batch that was sent to BAGS (Buenos Aires Great Southern) railway of Argentina, as plinthed at Concordia in 1992. It is no. 661 (HE 1337/1919). It is thought that the side tanks of these locos were removed in the UK prior to export. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall5 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I just found this image of 1325 on the Burma mines railway in the 80's. Apparently 1327 was also there, partially dismantled.

PenrithBeacon Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Snap! But, I've just realised that it is probably at apedale now, so you can see it while hunting down the other loco. K I'll be at Apedale on the Sunday, stopping off en-route to a spring break in Manchester. B&B booked, looking forward to it. Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2mm Andy Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Snap! But, I've just realised that it is probably at apedale now, so you can see it while hunting down the other loco. K I'm pretty sure that the Hunslet has not made it to Apedale yet and is still being restored in a private workshop. I'll have a word with one of the Apedale chaps tomorrow at the Narrow Gauge North exhibition to confirm. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

seraphim Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 HE1215 is owned by the War Office Loco Trust; it is still off-site from Apedale under restoration. WOLT haven't stated a timescale for completion (but it's getting close!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
