Forgotten Four - Muir Scrapyard

[SophieSteam]

Does anyone know if the last remaining four members of the 13 locomotives sold to Muir scrapyard in kirkcaldy, Scotland are still there? The last confirmed sighting of them seems to have been 2020, what a shame they're all still just sat there rusting!!

There are at least 3 visible on Google maps streetview but that's from 16 years ago.
They should be visible if they have survived from the railway if any members go by that way.

Out of curiosity, which locos were sent there?

This leaves the forgotten four.

Builder	Works Number	Date Built
Andrew Barclay	946	1902
	1069	1906
	1807	1929
	2262	1940

As of July 2020 these four locomotives were still rusting away in the scrapyard at Kirkaldy. 946 has now spent over 50 years in a scrapyard but it may not be the longest serving as 1807 ended its working life at Valleyfield Colliery at Newmills in Fife in the late 1960s.
