What Steam Engines Are Making A Return To Steam IN The Next Few Years

Whoops, my apologies! 2908 was "Lady of Quality."

Indeed, the interpretation of the question is very subjective; what's a "few years?" in 2807's case it was 29!

 

Touche! :loco:

 

Thanks Everyone Who Has Posted An Answer So Far

 

Isn't 37025 supposed to be returning to 'steam' soon too?

 

A steam EE Type 3? Train heating boiler?

 

Yep. Am sure it, or another Bo'ness 37 is having its steam heat boiler reinstated. Am also sure that 55002 has had similar work....

 

Can't see anyone else has mentioned them so: S160 Big Jim and 1054 both at the KWVR

 

Correct and mustn't forget my beloved 34081 either.

 

You were serious! I was only taking the p###. Seriously though 37248 is having the same treatment on the GWSR.

46521 at the GCR soon be ready too.

 

45551 WILL be built by 2018.

 

The 2018 deadline is more than an aspiration, it is part of the reason this new Patriot locomotive is being built (not the only reason of course, but a very important one) and it is more of a duty in my eyes than a desire. I hope all those with spare money in their wallets (a big ask at present I know) will feel the same and give now. Don't wait, just give now, thanks!

 

I believe, as far as the KESR is concerned, Austerity no.25 should be back next year, and the Norwegian 2-6-0 will either be back next year or 2013. Sadly, our P class 753 bowed out of service today after 10 years of avoiding galas! Despite her reputation, we only ever had a couple of problems with her, and she will be missed while she waits her turn.

 

6046 at the CVR some time in 2011/2012. Followed a few years later by 5197 i imagine

 

9 Winston Churchill I'd have thought ought not to be taking too long, given everything else at Romney is in working order (fingers crossed).

 

Sir Keith Park has passed its steam boiler test on Friday 4th November 2011. Looking for first run early next year.

 

New GWS Echo seems to suggest that a certain jaunt in May 2014 is an end stop date for her.

Would perhaps be more interesting to break down the long list on the 1st page down to 2012, 2013 etc - although its always going to be vague it might put some structure to the process.

There is a similar list on the Riley forum which details what hasn't steamed and updates where available which may be of interest to the original poster?

 

You beat me to it.
