Can guarantee there will be no freight company involved. Will come out maybe 4 - 5 times a year if that. Full boiler assessment being done today on the loco.Well, it's good that the loco won't be rusting away, it should be out working and pulling in the crowds. But it's a pity that Canberra has lost its major drawcard, just when there's the hint of a possibility of a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

Associate is rumoured to be David Sommerville ex President of the ARHS Canberra. Wonder how that will go down if true.

I noted on Facebook that 6029 was doing steam trials at Thirlmere this week to test the loco and identify any further repairs. The owner indicated it may be on the mainline in 2 months,Too late for Thirlmere next week, but just in time for Maitland?
