@Scott Cannell It was supposed to be on loan for a couple of months, but it's been returned back to the Ipswich Workshops following a derailment over some points. C17 974 is at Southern Downs Steam Railway at present and has just finished a 3 day long weekend tour to Goondiwindi.
How good!
So good to see something other than a C17 for a change.
AC16 221A did very well, I'm still waiting for 974 to return
awesome video paul, great to see 221a stretching her legs again. 😁
Honestly, I never thought I'd see it out this way, but here she is. They'll be plenty more videos of her before she's returned to QR.
@@paul1089 fantastic, can't wait to see them.
What's happening to C17 971 at the start of the video
The maintenance personnel are waiting on parts to arrive before a trial fitting can be made.
How will it take
@@andrewmcneish5309 I think they are aiming to have the loco operational by June or July.
Is c16 221a on loan or is it there permanently at Warwick
