    Hi all. Does anyone know what the delay is with 34028 and when it is expected to be ready for the main line? Thanks

    The last update I read said that the ML test runs were delayed due to the current fire risk.

    I believe the original plan was some mileage accumulation at Swanage before a mainline run, that of course may have changed.

    Steam is working again at Swanage but not 34028. Wasn’t there a problem with electrics?
    RTC could really like this loco to be available.
