Apart from Sri Lanka and the USA, are there any other non-UK countries where minors can still be seen aplenty? Someone was asking me, so I said I would ask here.

Amazing! There was a line of commentary in the early 90s BBC episode of Perpetual Motion which said when Minors were first built they were only for export. Has anyone ever attempted to compile a worldwide register I wonder?

I am compiling a worldwide register of Series MMs, 1948-53. Exports virtually ceased with the end of 948 production

I wouldn't say there are many here in Guatemala but at least there'll be another one driving about in a couple of weeks!
