Hey guys, trying to identify these Andrew Barclay locos, thinking that they might be British Rail Class D2/5? Any help will be hugely appreciated.

Thanks! :D

All of these locos are AB 0-6-0DH locos originally built for the MOD (BAOR). Lot 7 is ex MOD no 873 (AB 512/1966), Lot 8 is ex MOD no 871 (AB 510/1966), Lot 9 is ex MOD no 870 (AB 509/1966) and Lot 10 is ex MOD no 872 (AB511/1966).

They were all built to a standard AB industrial design that wasn't used by BR.

What was this place?!
Queenborough Rolling Mill, adjacent to the Sheerness branch in Kent.

There's some information about it (and the locomotives) here:
http://www.railalbum.co.uk/industrial-railways/queenborough-intro-1.htm
The Queenborough Rolling Mill was built on the site of a former cement works and its industrial railway ran to exchange siding with the main line and to a jetty on the River Swale. Operations ceased in February 2013 and the physical assets were auctioned in September 2013.
