What happened to the ex Romanian Royal Yacht Nahlin’s turbines?

Okay, so James Dyson (the vacuum guy) bought the ex Romanian Royal Yacht Nahlin, and had the steam turbines replaced with diesel engines for propulsion. I want to know “WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TURBINES?” If anybody can tell me, that would be great, thanks. God bless you.

Clydebuilt ex Steam Yacht NAHLIN returns to service.
The former steam yacht NAHLIN, which was built at the John Brown shipyard in Clydebank in 1930, has recently returned to operational service. However, her original steam turbine prime movers have been removed and she is now powered by a diesel electric installation although she retains some form of steam-raising plant as she can be heard (and seen) exercising a fairly powerful steam whistle.
The former Royal Yacht Nahlin, has one of her former steam turbines on display at the G. L. Watson & Co in Glasgow. The other was purchased at auction by John Brown & Co. Ltd”, Clydebank.
