As I never managed to photograph it at all, I really need to make an effort to track it down before its too late.

Many thanks for any help.

There's some confusion over it - I heard it was now at Jesmond alongs with 4708 but it may still be parked in Redcar depot. As for being covered in sheets, the most recent photos I can find from Redcar depot it's still uncovered.
4704 was last reported as in storage in Stockton.

As for them being written off, even if that is the case (currently may not be fully true), they won't be going anywhere for a good while yet, given the current scrap price of them is significantly lower than the resale value or repair cost.
