Re: Visiting Locos - W&W #4 et al

About reuniting 463/464, there were these comments within a thread last year. [ngdiscussion.net]

I admit I had thought about W&W 4 visiting the EBT one day myself. We visited EBT the looooong way around one year in the 1980s, and stopped in to see #4 in her shed on the way through. I had known she was steamed in the 1970s and here is what it says about her on their website. [greenecountyhistory.org] Last steamed in October 1985.

Now EBT is doing a FANTASTIC job in its own right, with a full plate no doubt. However, visiting locos are common in the UK, and the C&TS and its partners proved it’s doable with Eureka, Glenbrook and RGS 20 visiting last year. Supposedly it was satisfactory financially for all parties, so perhaps a visit by W&W 4 to the EBT wouldn’t be out of line one day, if the timing and conditions were right.

Cosmetically, #4 looked super in your video. Does anyone know her current status, or if there are plans to return her to operation?

Cheers,
Ralph
