Some of the RODs were bought by J&A Brown for working their coal mine lines near Australia's Newcastle. I can remember seeing one working but didn't get a photo of it. www.lner.info/locos/O/o4o5.php

That's right Graham. I think 2 are still in existence and at one time there were plans to bring one back to the UK. It never happened.

There appears to be three. One under repair with an operating museum, and two in the Dorrrigo never nevers where nothing is likely to happen until the owner dies...

This site is the first stop when looking for Australian steam still existing.

This is Dorrigo where items go in and minimal preservation / restoration occurs.
