The two Isle of Wight locomotives used on engineering trains survived long enough for preservation attempts to be made.
 The attempt to preserve W31 failed, and it was scrapped in 1967.

W24 Calbourne, was bought by the Wight Locomotive Society, which in 1971 moved its headquarters to Havenstreet and became the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.
Calbourne is in operating condition following the completion of her recent overhaul, and hauls tourist trains over the line between Smallbrook Junction and Wootton.

Calbourne is the sole survivor of the O2 locomotive, the rest of the class were scrapped.
