    Praise the Lord.:)
    Seriously, after all the disappointments that's great to see. I'll bet there's a fair bit of relief at NVR, they've been very patient.

    There are photos on Facebook of the loco being worked on in the yard at Wansford, still split apart from the tender, with support crew working on top of the boiler looking at the regulator. First trips in less that 4 days...

    Tornado has been turned round, quite literally. Was facing west when unloaded, is now facing east.

    You've basically got one shot at the regulator repair working then! If it had a warming fire this afternoon, it is likely to be the back end of Wednesday before you are in steam and can properly test and that might be pushing it. If it works - good. If not it is likely to be late Friday before the loco has cooled enough to be dismantled sufficiently to re-investigate, at which point it is too late to make a repair and then warm through enough for the weekend ...
    Well, quite ...

    Yup. We (the Wagon Group) decided not to keep rescheduling our photo charter after the second postponement...
