    Does anyone know if the ex BSC Port Talbot Alco switcher is still at the Chinnor & PR Rly? It was for sale a while ago and there is a report on the internet that it was scrapped.

    Wasn't it at Cholsey and Wallingford, rather than CPRR?

    My apoligies - UKLocos does list it at Cholsey & Wallingford. Just wondered if anyone who worked at the railway could confirm it had definitly been scrapped.
