    45305 has done a fair bit of work with VT over the years, but can't see there being a market for more than a couple of trips a year with VT for 30777, when they have their own locos (similar to Bahamas which is reportedly gaining air brake equipment at next overhaul to expand use).
    That maybe sufficient though for all parties, when it will see plenty of use on the GCR.

    The boiler is still outside the shed awaiting crown stay work(?) and retubing. The chassis is close to having its motion reassembled and the tender has had more work done.
