[Vic] r.e. R700/R711

[Craig Haber <albatross@harnessnet.com.au>]

to answer James Brooks question (the original post has expired, hence
the 'new' thread)...

R711 took approximately 2 years to restore.
R700 is thought to be in reasonable mechanical and boiler condition, BUT
(and it's a huge but with restoration projects), invariably, the further
you go, the more problems you find.  Given the experience gained in the
restoration of R711, I would think it should require less time to
restore than R711, but again, you never know what will be uncovered in
such a project.

Regards,
Craig.
