    This isn't a project I've followed at all, but I'm curious about the tenders. The photo appears to show three - what's the origin of the third one?

    19&20: But will they ever run again? The one at Fintown is a wonderful experience (in the pouring rain, with water cascading through the cab area... and it sounds like an 03 shunter), but a longer ride would be amazing.
