    Decent chance of Andrew Barclay 1142 returning to steam at Lathalmond/ Shed 47 for the first time in preservation. Boiler has been bolted back in and fitting out has started.

    Am I right in thinking 34046 Braunton is due for/has been withdrawn? I think it returned to steam around this sort of time in 2016?

    I forgot about the KWVR Gala!:Banghead:

    But I'm still fairly sure it returned to steam in 2016 so must be due for withdrawal soon I'd have thought, unless it had a fast track at some point in the last few years?

    I'll add a couple off the top of me head:

    Standard 5 at the nene valley, 73050 city of peterborough. Currently midway through overhaul & believe they were pushing to get that finished.

    Last time I visited there was mention that the swedish b class 4-6-0 number 101A was next in line for restoration to working order.

    Other locos, 9F 92214 at gcr, unsure what the current state is.

    850 lord nelson, NRM owned but I believe under the care of a group/railway somewhere which was rumoured to be returning to action.

    73050 is at least a couple of years away, depending on funding.

    850 is at the Mid Hants, or at least it was last time I visited in October. I wasn’t aware it was being overhauled.
