    Does anyone know the whereabouts of the two 7.25 inch gauge steam locomotives that ran at Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park in the '80s?

    Milner Hunslet 0-4-0STT 'Victoria'
    And a 2-8-4 'JM Cobbold' that was based on an Indian design I think.

    I recall seeing JM Cobbold in the Alysham engine shed at the BVR in the '90s, and last I'd heard of Victoria was that it was up for auction in 2011.

    Victoria sold at auction in 2011 and is privately owned I gather. Not sure about JM Cobbold, last I heard was still with one of the original builders of Pleasurewood Hills
