A number of industrial locomotives were sold to the scrapyard of Thomas Muir at Easterbalbeggie near Thornton. The ones I have traced are listed below.
| Builder | Works Number | Date Built |
| Andrew Barclay | 946 | 1902 |
| 1069 | 1906 | |
| 1245 | 1911 | |
| 1807 | 1929 | |
| 2017 | 1935 | |
| 2157 | 1943 | |
| 2183 | 1945 | |
| 2261 | 1949 | |
| 2262 | 1940 | |
| Bagnall | 2759 | 1944 |
| Grant Richie | 272 | 1894 |
The eleven locomotives listed above were all based in Scotland prior to be taken out of service and sold for scrap. The first to enter the scrapyard was Grant Richie 272 which was also the oldest. It entered the scrapyard in 1966. Most of the rest appear to have followed during the early 1970s with the last one being Andrew Barclay 2157 in 1977.
At some stage, the locomotives were moved to the Thomas Muir yard at Kirkaldy.
Of the eleven taken into the scrapyard seven were subsequently sold to organisations planning to restore them. The earliest to leave was Bagnall 2759 which had only spent about three years at the scrapyard when it left in 1973 to go to the Lochty Private Railway at Anstruther in Fife. The last of the seven was Andrew Barclay 1245 which did not leave until 2004 having been there since 1972. Surprisingly it only took 19 months of work at the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway to to get 1245 operational again.
All of the seven that have left the scrapyard have since steamed. The seven are.

This leaves the forgotten four.
As of July 2020 these four locomotives were still rusting away in the scrapyard at Kirkaldy. 946 has now spent over 50 years in a scrapyard but it may not be the longest serving as 1807 ended its working life at Valleyfield Colliery at Newmills in Fife in the late 1960s.
