This table details the steam locomotives of the Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST class that have been preserved on heritage railways. Of the 484 'Austerities' constructed, around 70 have survived into preservation, often referred to by enthusiasts as "Buckets".

Although the Hunslet Engine Company were responsible for the design, not all of these locomotives were built by the company. In order to meet wartime demand, Hunslet subcontracted some of the construction to Andrew Barclay Sons & Co., W. G. Bagnall, Hudswell Clarke, Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns and the Vulcan Foundry.

Several have been painted as LNER Class J94s to represent mainline rather than industrial use. Not all have survived intact; the boiler of RSH 7135 of 1944 was used on the replica Broad gauge locomotive "Iron Duke" built in 1985. One has been turned into a Thomas the Tank Engine lookalike, and another into one of Douglas, also from The Railway Series.

The Scottish Railway Preservation Society have formed an Austerity Locomotive Owners Association (A.L.O.A.) with the aim of being a central point for owners of Austerity locomotives to share information and assistance.

Fitted with GPCS in 1962, and given works number 3882. Used by the NCB at Maesteg Colliery until 1976 Worked on the Watercress Line as Barbara.

In 2000, converted to an 0-6-0 tender engine as No. 10 Douglas from Thomas the Tank Engine. 1943 RSH 7086 War Department 75050 69 Norman Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway NCB black 1943 RSH 7097 War Department 75061 9 Strathspey Railway 1943 Hunslet 2873 War Department 75024 NS 8811 Stoom Stichting Nederland, Rotterdam, Netherlands Sold directly from WD to Laura colliery, Eygelshoven (NL) in 1945, numbered 'Laura 12' (later LV 12). Oou 1967. Then the boiler of LV 13, before 1962 known as 'Julia IV' (ex NS 8811, ex WD 75080), was placed on the frame of LV 12 (ex WD 75024). The colliery numbered its locomotives after their boilers and not after the framenumbers (as practiced by WD and most railway companies). So this means the loco became LV 13 after its boiler. Went out of service after colliery closed in 1974. Was still under steam in 1975 when cleaning up the remains of the colliery. Giving this locomotive the status of last operational steam engine in The Netherlands. Stored in the former locomotive shed until discovery in 1981. Operates today with a new boiler (RAW Görlitz 20/1995) on the LV 12 frame (WD 75024). NS numbering follows the frame. So this never was a NS engine. The NS-number 8811 is fictional but fun. 1944 W.G.Bagnall 2749 War Department 75161 6 Caledonian Railway (Brechin) 1944 W.G.Bagnall 2746 War Department 75158 The Duke Ecclesbourne Valley RailwayMaroon Returned to service December 2023. 1944 W.G.Bagnall 2758 War Department 75170 Cefn Coed Colliery Museum, Crynant NCB 1944 Hudswell Clarke 1776 War Department 71499,NCB Harry Horwich, Lancashire Under overhaul at Bryn Engineering, Wigan. 1944 Hunslet 3155 War Department 75105 Walkden Ribble Steam Railway WD green Sold on to Nederlandse Spoorwegen (No. 8815) after the war.
