    The test should be at night, so it can't be seen until it's official unveiling. Crazy to think it's only 2 weeks away from it's light test run up north !

    I think you will find it doing 'running in' turns on the ELR, the 'light test run' will be on the main line in a couple of weeks ish...

    Thank you so much for posting that. Sad I know, but I genuinely have tears running down my face. Very much overjoyed to see her back. Thank you for posting!
