    Crikey! They're really cracking on with her! Goes to show how well she's been looked after.

    Very impressive progress. Maybe she'll be ready in time to take over 6100's part in GBV ;-)

    Can anybody tell me please the date when 6233 was last in steam? I presume it was sometime in November 2010. Looking at the rate of the overhaul so far, I imagine we'll be seeing her make her first moves in the first quarter of next year, a very impressive turnaround.

    I think it was mid-November last year; I seem to recall that it did a few drive and fire turns at the MRC before bowing out. The last mainline tour was the London Explorer from Derby-King's Cross on 16 October 2010.

    Not to diminish their efforts, 48151 was turned around between Aug 11th 2008 and Jan 2010, but then 4965 had a turn around in 6 months?, of course 45407's 14 weeks beats them all!

    Can't wait to see 46233.

    I guess it all depends on how much money you have to finance the job, and now many people you can have working full time on it..

    I can think have of 2 engines that have had over a million pound each spent on them and are still no where near running.

    Agreed, it does depend on how well the money is controlled and spent.
