It will take a lot of work, she's tired.
Personally, I'd rather see 46203 out on the main line next

There is another run over Shap planned before withdrawal, so it's not over yet, or at least we hope...

Do you think they'll make it a priority to get the boiler recertified?

The loco is owned solely by the Princess Elizabeth Locomotive Group, and they've recently been going through a heck of a lot of politics with many members either departing or arguing either amongst themselves or with other groups. The word on the street is the group don't have the money needed to overhaul her straight away, but she is based at Tyseley who could lend a hand. They have their own engines and their own schedule of overhauls though, so only time will tell.
If I had a million quid, it'd be done by Friday.

If I had many billions of dollars, America's railroads would be steam powered again.
And no one would have ever heard of Mitt Romney.
