    According to a friend in Germany the boiler for this loco left Meiningen earlier this month for its return to Australia. However it appears that the necessary rectification work has not been fully completed and that this will be finished off in Australia.

    Recertification? I thought it was supposed to be all new?

    I had heard reports that the Australian government was proposing to sue Meiningen for "breach of contract"; is that still the case, do we know ?
