Preservation

No less than four (i.e. half the class!) have been preserved:

* No. 27, on the Bluebell Railway
* No. 178, on the Bluebell Railway
* No. 323, on the Bluebell Railway

In fiction

In The Railway Series book "Stepney the Bluebell Engine", Nos. 323 and 27 were featured as engines that Stepney was talking about when he visited the Island of Sodor. No. 323 was named 'Bluebell', the name it currently carries and No. 27 was named 'Primrose'. Both engines were seen without faces. "Bluebell" was also released as an ERTL model.
