Well 351 is at the Port Dock Station Railway Museum, it was withdrawn
in 1979 and was preserved in 1991.  This information comes from a
publication called 'On Shed at Port Dock' (4th edition-Dec1997), the
guide to the Port Dock Railway Museum.
The A.R.H.S. obtained 351 from another preservation group for $2000,
and was used by SteamRanger at Goolwa and Dry Creek for a number of
years untill 1991, when it was transfered to the P.D.R.M.
Locomotive 350 is SteamRangers Mt Barker depot shunt locomotive.

I hope this is of help to you.
