One was a real basket case, you boys on the wrong end of the world really know how to get your moneysworth out of engines!. That one is now with a gent who has amassed quite a collection, and I suspect it is in the que, probably behind another Foden, Mr Corry's old machine.
The other, in much better order has not long been sold, and I believe the current owner may well be a TT member. I was lead to believe second hand, that with some moderate boilerwork it would be a runner as is. I saw a number of pictures, but not the machine itself. It looked a tidy machine.

On the subject of getting your moneys worth it has been interesting having 1700 this engine has been worked over with lots of wear and repair jobs and about 3 revolutions on the crank for everything to catch up you jump on 1393 which led a sheltered life mainly pumping water so is still in very good order and rides very well on the rubber lugs.
