    I understand, from a totally reliable source that she should be ready for the 20th.

    Well still 9 days to go it could be a lucky last minute break for a test run. A bit irrelevant but it happened with 45596 a few days before feb 9th inaugural tour.

    60009 has had some maintenance . why in your world do you believe it needs a test run ?? loco's are under constant maintenance and don't have a full test run each time someone waves a spanner in their general direction . As long as some miles can be accumulated where it is to prove the repair and it passes an FTR then in theory should be good to go

    and herein @Davo is the frustration of so many with your postings .

    Sorry its one thing i wasent aware of that 60009 a mainline loco gets uleashed straight away to whereabouts it is having a minor repair at sidmouth its something i overlooked.
    Like with 46233 got a minor overhaul and painted back into L.M.S. crimson and retubed last year at swanwick jct mid railway butterley and came straight back out on mainline duty down to S.V.R.

    Punctuation alert: I presume that should have a couple of commas to make it read correctly?
