The full story is in the new edition of Steam Railway. One of the 8F's is going into store in the old steam shed at Barry (home to what's left of the 'Barry Ten') and the other is to be restored at Ian Storey's workshop near Morpeth in Northumberland once the restoration of Standard 4: 76084 is complete. It may be displayed at Locomotion on its way north. The loco has been bought by a private individual.
Best wishes,
John H-T.
