    Roger Hibbert's 8F 48305 is to be out of service for six months whilst substantial maintenance and repairs take place. It's next and final steaming before it is withdrawn for an overhaul is sometime in April, when there is a chance that at least one more 8F will appear soon along with 8624, and two other 2-8-0's in April.

    Has there been a change in the order of months ie April being exchanged with August?

    As far as we're concerned she has no steamings for February and March, and is rostered for one weekend of steamings in April, then she will be withdrawn for overhaul, that is the plan so far.

    Seeing as you're dropping the hint, I'll have a go and say that it's 45160 from the G&WR. I don't think it'll be 48151.
