    Wasn't the original term 10 years from 2016 so one assumes the answer is probably up to the KWVR?

    And presumably whether Rileys have a continuing use of its services - seems like 35009 has been quietly progressing and they've also acquired 5163 since they originally took 5212 on. Meanwhile WCRC seems to be retrenching including from its West Highland monopoly

    While there is some work happening on 35009, it is many years away from completion.
    5163 is on lease from the owners and is probably a few years off completion.

    Latest news from Ian Riley. <BJ>

    ''5407's overhaul is complete and has been repainted to the finest EVER job that I have seen, she will be moved to complete steam tests at the ELR but then immediately moved elsewhere for safety as the ELR have no available covered accommodation''.

    She certainly looks very smart and well finished, but what else would you expect from the Riley team? :)

    I'm always amazed by the quick turn arounds Riley does for the Fives. Hope 45407 will come back down South again, been ages since I've seen it.

    According to what I've just read elsewhere 45407 has left tonight for 10A and is booked for the CME on Saturday!

    Don't shoot the messenger. :(

    Why do they paint smoke boxes Matt black? It was never the case in BR days. Or pre nationalisation for that matter.
