    The GNR 6 Wheel Third is a thing of beauty (although I have always been a total sucker for clear finishes on hard-woods, which allow on to see the natural grain)! I almost wish it could go into a museum in this state, so it could reside next to other treasures.

    One quick query, if I may: I see this project was rated as a "BRONZE" - I must not understand the rating system; why only "BRONZE"?

    Latest Joint Line mentions that negotiations are ongoing to keep 4277 on the line for the 2026 season. Hope these are a success

    Bronze/Silver/Gold refers to the severity and scale of the overhaul work being carried out, rather than the current condition of the vehicle. This means unrestored wrecks or very worn out stalwarts would be the typical recipients of Gold overhauls - which last years. Conversely, vehicles such as the teak Great Northern 129 are only in for a quick Bronze just to keep up with re-varnishing etc and maintain their good condition. 129's Gold overhaul was completed back in circa 2008. Hope this makes sense, happy to answer any questions!

    So it’s looking like the steam fleet for 2026 will be

    80080
    90775 (Boiler ticket expires in Autumn I believe)
    1744 (hopefully)
    4277 (hopefully)
    Newstead
    No 22

    Joint Line also mentions the hoped for return of the B12 and Ring Haw in 2027.

    Ah, thanks for enlightening me! I hadn't realized it had already been restored, so this was basically just the normal maintenance needed by something wooden outside!
