In a suprising discovery, the former Finnish State Railways Vr1 Class 0-6-0T No. 792, is no longer located in St Albans, Hertfordshire, as it has been relocated to a new site at Pilgrims Hatch near Brentwood in Essex. No. 792 has had some cosmetic carried out and has been painted in a Blue livery and is on display at this new site at Pilgrims Hatch.
