    To paraphrase the old saying, the first 90% of the overhaul takes 90% of the time, and the last 10% takes the other 90%. On the good news front, 7714's withdrawal has been postponed from November 2026 to Summer 2027 (hopefully I won't jinx...

    I think there was something in one of the recent SLL updates that said they were restoring, or helping with the restoration of the loco. I could be mistaken though!
