    What if any locos are likely to steam for the first time in preservation in the coming year? (or so)

    76084 stands a good chance from recent progress.

    34053 will make her first runs too though her boiler has now been steamed.

    Only other possibility is 45491 but not sure what has been done since her arrival to the GCR.

    I may be wrong but isn't 2013 a safer bet for 35006?

    I guess 41298 at the IoW stands a chance depending on how complete she is of course.

    Lads you really need to give a report on how close they exactly are to steaming, otherwise anyone could just throw in a random loco number and mislead us.
