    That's the plan. Current info on the boiler is that the strict water treatment regime has kept things good so hopefully there will be few timing issues.

    There seems to be some ambiguity on the Icons of Steam website as the title suggests 2017, but the text within the page suggests 2016?

    Not for 2016.

    Don't get too excited by the boiler's reappearance in the frames, it's only there to enable the pipework to be sorted out (which can take a while) then it'll have to come out again for certification. Then it'll need to be re-assembled, run in & de-snagged before being pulled in for a frenzy of painting & lining... lots of lining.

    Second half of 2017's a maybe, 2018 more likely in my opinion.

    The arrival of the Duke at Tyseley, will probably slow down the progress on her.

    So the list as of so far

    34046, 45212, 46100, 46201, 60103

    I feel optimistic about 35018.
    I'm not forgetting 5029 but some wiggle room wouldn't be a surprise considering what shape boiler/firebox are in.
