Are there any of these machines (standard gauge) preserved in the UK that anyone is aware of?

 

Standard Gauge:

Here is a narrow gauge example:

I know they were used on some of the ironstone railways in the UK, possibly also colliery systems? Not sure if they were found outside of industrial systems/networks in the UK?

 

thanks in advance,

 

James

 

EDIT - standard gauge link added.

There is a machine preserved at the Northamptonshire Ironstone Railway Trust at Hunsbury Hill, Northampton.

 

The machine came from Irchester Ironstone Quarry. It is non working and on plinth on a section of track
