We havnt heard any news for awhile, and since there has been no Cowra Loco News from LVR on the subject, does anyone know how 5917's restoration is coming along, and do we have an expected timeframe for a return to service? Ive emailed the Society today, but I thought I may get an answer here as well

I've been wondering about that too, but there's nothing new about 5917 being stored at Eveleigh because it is still stored over there.
Wasn't there a thread about LVR & 3801 Limited having disagreements back from last year? Anyways not meant to add more fuel to the fire but someone from LVR said to me that they had parts ready for 5917's overhaul at Eveleigh but a couple of guys from 3801 Ltd decided to dump the parts on the ground and I'm wondering if that was one of the main reasons that the 2 societies couldn't get along from last year?

Instead of constantly having these threads pop up ie "What's going on with 3801?" "Will R766 ever run on the mainline?" "Has 3830 passed it's boiler test?" Why don't the mods create a sticky titled something like "Preservation Restoration projects" and make 2 rules quite clear: 1) No one is to ask about a project and 2) It is a simply a dumpsite for FACTUAL information as it comes to light..
It means when those in the know, know, they can provide the info to those of us who would like to know, insteadly of constantly asking the same questions every few months and maybe getting something true or more likely alot of rumor and heresay.
Just a thought, shoot me down in flames if you like, but I think this, or something similar would make the board alot less cluttered.

That would suit the some who want to keep information as "secret squirrel" stuff which seems to be the norm nowadays.

A rule to stop people from showing a interest and asking questions about a restoration project? Such a rule would effectively shut down this forum. That would suit the some who want to keep information as "secret squirrel" stuff which seems to be the norm nowadays.
As for hearsay and rumor, people in the "know" have the every opportunity to come here and dispel any incorrect information without getting into flame wars.
