It was mentioned that many Ex-MRCE Tauruses were sold/stored. Of the 51 MRCE Tauruses, only 24 remain to BRCE while 15(182 060-074)sold to AKIEM. The remaining 12 were stored.
Just ask what are the fleet no of MRCE Tauruses that remained to BRCE and the fleet no. of the MRCE Tauruses stored?

Of the 12 Tauruses stored, I think they are too young to be scrapped, I wondered if there are any potential use for them. But I think MÀV can lease them to replace the old locos.

Out of the original fleet of 60, MRCE had been selling their ES64U2s off gradually, with 12 disposed of (7 to Hector Rail, 5 to DB). 15 (182560-574, no such locos as 182060-074) were then sold to Akiem for lease to MÁV. Beacon's website confirms they have 24, so another 9 have been disposed of. As some were reported in the same loco moves as the Akiem batch, they may well have gone to Akiem - but there has been no confirmation about who or which locos are involved.

But they are far too young to be scrapped.
