    It seems like another of your own photos (quite likely taken the same day) sadly answers that question, tho' neither when nor where.

    I hadn't thought about this until now, but does this make the terriers most diverse class out there in terms of the different companies they ran under?

    LBSCR, LSWR, SECR, SR, BR, IWCR, FYNR, KESR, Newhaven Harbour. Do we count the Sadler rail coach company for 46?

    I think 46 ties with 488 for the most pre-preservation owners too - five each.

    You’ve missed the Edge Hill light railway which owned two A1X locos.

    Also the Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway and the GWR who bought the ex WCPR pair

    Do we include preserved railways in this?

    Several were sold to industrial users and to the Admiralty. Some worked on the construction of the GCR link from Northolt to the GC&GW Jt line, while No 52 Surrey reportedly ended up in Argentina.

    The various ROD/WD/Austerity types may have been the only British locos to be more widely dispersed?

    And several others I think - I was just trying to list the owners of the preserved ones.

    I think it went to RESCO, with the intention of restoration. Maybe @mikehartuk would know more.

    My vague recollection is that it was always owned by Resco and just stored at Tenterden.

    I think the comment from @burnham-t is referring back to the GNR carriage body that was being discussed earlier in the thread
