What is a Museum Locomotive
The Derail Valley update introduces a new way to customise your trains with private locomotives and demonstrators. You can now own unique pre-production locomotives called demonstrators, which are found in wrecked states throughout the game, most commonly hidden in stations. These demonstrators are owned by the Derail Valley Railway Museum, and you can buy them by purchasing the museum license for $15,000. Once restored, these locomotives become work trains that you can request via comms radio. They will never despawn, but they can only be serviced manually and are not covered by DVRT insurance.

The demonstrators need to be restored through a multi-step process: find and re-rail the locomotive, tow it to the museum's roundhouse, order missing parts at the museum's office, transport the ordered parts to the museum using a utility vehicle, install the parts at the museum, perform basic repairs and refuel the locomotive, and finally, apply a new paint job (optional).

You can purchase missing parts at the museum's office after reaching step 3 of the restoration process. The purchased parts will be delivered to the Machine Factory's loading track, where you can pick them up using a utility vehicle and transfer them to the museum.

Each demonstrator comes with four new paint jobs: Primer, Abandoned Demo, New Demo, and New DVRT. You can paint a locomotive after reaching step 7 of the restoration process. Painting is done using a sprayer gun and paint cans (purchased Separately) found at the museum's paint station. The body and cab can be painted separately, and exploded demonstrators will not retain their paint job after being repaired.

Afterword
This is gathered by creating a new world and flying around to spot the locomotives if there are any missing these will be fixed.

Any images not credited are mine all other will have credit given to the person who originally posted it.

The current UNFILTERED number is currently 360 locomotives found or the equivalent of 60 saves!!

For those looking for the De2 and Dh4 both can spawn at Iron Mine West however, their spawn locations can flip flop, found De2 where Dh4 was etc

i never would have thought to look in the swamp by the goods factory.

I had been looking all over every station up n down the map looking for the s282 on a standard save... For 3 IRL days, I combed every alley and every shed, behind every fence and every building, all to no avail... Then this guide tells me to look in the ditch BETWEEN CW and OWC, and sure enough, there it is. A spot I would've NEVER thought to look, and there it was in the ditch on its side right next to the switch between there. I would've never found it there. Thank you so much.

the s060 in the last one is like "peekaboo"

If this is as I believe, this is in FF and the locomotive has spawned slightly inside the wall on picture FF.1 and when the game has calculated its physics it has 'popped out' (for loss of the right term) and ended up on the tracks.

ive restarted it a few times

Try Restarting the game and check again if that doesn't work I don't know why you cant find it.
'There is a chance that 2 locomotive can spawn in the same place. Restarting should cause the second locomotive to spawn'
