Here is what I have on my "Surviving World Steam Locomotive" CD-ROM:

Nothing on this one; I assume it has been scrapped.

#9 is Lima 2759/1914. It is still with us; I have a picture of it in my database; some of the other Shay resources may have more history on it.
I don't have a #11, but I do have a #10. #10 is Lima 3264/1924. It is still with us; I have a picture of it in my database; some of the other Shay resources may have more history on it.

I don't have this one listed; I assume it was scrapped.

I don't have this one listed; I assume it was scrapped.
The others I have listed as still surviving are #12 (Lima 3309/????) and #14 (Lima 3274/1924). The amazing compound 0-6-6-0 is Baldwin 58239/1925. It was thought to be a haunted engine by it's crews because so many workers had killed by it in service. (One time, they lost control of it and rolled down an embankment taking a train loaded with lumber and workers with it. They had to retrieve it in sections.)
Like Pat said, it has been cosmetically restored for display; the only compound 0-6-6-0 of it's kind I am aware of worldwide. The Shays are still derelict; most any book by British railway photographer Colin Garratt has pictures of them in service as well as dumped and covered with weeds. I have also released pictures of all five in past updates to the "Surviving World Steam Locomotive" database.
