    Does anyone know what the current status of 6233 is? Is there any chance of seeing it out on the main line this year?

    One of the mags quoted a source from the Trust indicating that what was thought to be a standard list of maintenence jobs has snowballed into a full overhaul. This has coincided with personnel changes at the society too.
    There is a full commitment to return the loco to the mainline however asap, along with a fresh look at the standard tanks too.

    Feel for them. That is tough.

    Certainly looks like a while away, but what stable of 8p's we might have in a couple of years time, A1, A2, A4, P2, BR 8p, and hopefully this one.

    Speaking of locomotive stables, Birmingham CC are so desperate for funds that they are considering selling off some 'Artifacts' allegedly. They do have a particularly large 'Artifact' that a certain wealthy individual might like to add to their 'collection'...:Bag:
