Paul . Do you know how many working locos are operating in Qld. And are there many others under renovation. Also are there many stored being too costly to repair. Thanks

[@paul1089]

There are 5 that can run right now plus there's a few that are being overhauled or restored.

[@cherylboal8559]

What happened to 974.

[@paul1089]

It's been returned to the Ipswich Railway Workshops for a major inspection and repairs.

Have they fixed 967s left cylinder yet cause its still wheezing

[@paul1089]

The gland needs repacking.

[@trainloverstudios9673]

I guess they've been to busy to repack the gland

It's very hard maintaining the one locomotive since we lost 974, especially running 3 steam services per week.
