Two are in Thursford,
2780 "King Edward VII" (the oldest Scenic) and
3827 "Victory", no chance of getting them out. I stand to be corrected but I don't think they received any boiler work when restored, they certainly don't have tickets.
The other one, 3884 "Wonder Gladiator" is in Country Life Museum in Devon. When I went in May it was on display and I understand it is steamed fairly regularly, see attached pics.
It isn't beyond the realms of possibility that GDSF could get 3884 out, after all Country Life's other
Burrell 3711 "King of the Belgians" was at this years show. I understand the owner doesn't like 3884 going on a low-loader however.
