Regarding the previous post,many years ago (in the 1920s?)Locomotive magazine had a series about the Terriers a reference was made to an unidentified Terrier being seen on an N B shed during WW1.Iseem to recall it was St Margaret's in Edinburgh.So did it cross the Forth Bridge?

I think this was the Southdown but it went unidentified.

I'm sure I've seen a photo in a Navy book of a Terrier being used to move munitions in a store yard at Invergordon.

Like Scapa Flow,Warships were based and stocked here so moving shells around would have been their duties.I believe that the distilleries were turned over for munitions work.

This photograph would be crown copyright. If I rediscover it I will post it's location

Dragging this thread up from the grave again, I don't suppose you ever found that photo did you? Long shot I know... 🤣

I live in Argentina and I will try to investigate further, but to my knowledge they were probably scrapped or abandoned somewhere. That is after all what happened to most steam locomotives in Argentina. Most railways in Argentina were broad gauge or narrow gauge, meaning that there is really only one railway (The Urquiza) that they could have been sold to. The tramway was electrified so there wouldn’t be much use for a steam locomotive on it during the 1920s, so it is likely it was disposed of. During the 1950s a period of railway nationalization took place, so if any of the engines survived until then, they entered ownership by the Argentinian government. I’ll see if i can find any relevant information.

Out of interest, did you find out anymore? Rather interested in the subject, I'm getting as much livery and identity history together of the A1/A1X fleet if you did find anything out. 

Can't see it advertised here but a new show has been announced at the Statfold Barn Railway near Tamworth, details below;

Myself and a couple of other Severn Valley volunteers popped by the layout yesterday while at Didcot and was very impressed and found it an inspirational day out really, we all really enjoyed watching the water crane and handle move and after we had walked over to the Swindon Panel, we heard the surprise cow! Very good. Keep up the good work, see you when the Saint comes up!

Hey Dave, anymore updates on this? One I am certainly interested in.

Cheers
