Aww come on, that means there's another 10 years to go....

They seem to have enough trouble keeping the existing 4 NA's going, perhaps
they should just give in and procure more DH's, fling the NA's and become a
real proper modern railway...

Seriously though, the April Edition of Monthly Propaganda proclaims:

"G42  Work is progressing on smokebox internal plates, coal doors &
mechanical lubricators.  Various oil boxes manufactured & fitted, sanding
gear progressing.  A start has been made on various flanges & brackets for
the boiler"
