R704 - Stuffed and mounted in the ARHS museum.
R707 - Restored and operated in original configuration by 707 operations.
R711 - modified by WCR, operational.
R753 - Stored with 707 operations. Possible conversion to Standard gauge.
R761 - Restored and operated in original configuration by SRV.
R766 - About to be converted to a "super R" by WCR.
