Butlins bought some steam locos, after their withdrawal by BR, for display at the camps.
I know that "Royal Scot" was at Skegness, and was it "Duchess of Sutherland" that was at Minehead? I am pretty certain that "Princess Margaret Rose" was at Pwllheli, because I read something about its movement some years ago, hauled by either a class 25 or 24.
After years of kids climbing over them at holiday camps,at least 2 of them have run on the mainline again.
