The other surviving "Waril" class ("Jack") which is at the Armley Mills Museum in Leeds was, I think, the first of these built - many more were built for the Government stores at Deptford of which 4 (four)? later went to an estate railway (in Yorkshire I think - I can't remember the name at present). The Deptford loco's were oil fired. I've no idea about the fate of the remainder
