the 6th one though could be laying around in some abandoned lines since there is no records of him being scrapped or sold

On display in saint gobain: WAS operational (before important parts were stolen) The one with red wheels: Operational in the tunisian railway museum (sadly got vandalized and stolen so no longer operational) But u shouldn’t classify them under the same engine since they are seperate engines
