    Does anybody know what's wrong with Foremarke Hall. It was unable to go to the GCR gala and I now understand that it has gone to the Server Valley for repairs.

    It’s at the SVR for a cylinder rebore apparently.

    On the face of it and knowing the cost of transporting a loco as compared with transporting the cylinder boring kit, that seems an odd thing to do. Is there some additional work being done, as well, that warrants the movement?

    Cylinder re-bore contract work. No use expected out of it. Will have the work done and go home.
