    I have seen reports of minor work being carried out on 6984, but since these were in a 'members only' Facebook group, I suppose that doesn't count as publicly available.

    Apologies for the thread bump, but Steam Railway had a really good set of pieces in the latest issue covering the current state of the remaining ex-Barry locos. I was quite surprised to learn how close 5539 reportedly is to completion to the point where they said there's a chance it steams by the end of the year. Each one got an update, though they did highlight the cases where a loco was last reported to be under restoration, but they couldn't get any recent information from their owners.

    great to see another 55xx return to steam especially with the surviving examples achieving their centenary in 2027. I wonder if there will be a special event to mark this somewhere next year?
