That's good to hear, I wonder why Branchline has it listed as stored
unserviceable? There must be a difference between "stored unserviceable"
and "under repair". Or is every locomotive that goes in for service
identified as "stored unserviceable"?
On another note regarding 2816, when do the tubes need to be replaced, or
checked at least?

It is in the shop getting its usual winter working over. I saw it a few
weeks ago with steam dome, boiler washout plugs and various other parts
removed. No engine is serviceable until these have been put back. The
damaged driving axle has been replaced.

I just read in the March Branchline magazine that CPR's Empress steam
locomotive #2816 is listed as stored unserviceable. I don't remember
hearing anything of this prior to this.
