LSL Overhaul Queue

[Steam4Max]

Hey all,

Was having a think recently about what Locomotive Services Limited (LSL) overhaul queue looks like for steam locos.

We know that 5029 Nunney Castle has recently come back into service.

46100 Royal Scot has moved to Margate “Awaiting overhaul”.

60019 Bittern has made its way back to Crewe to begin overhaul.

I was wondering if we know anything about any others?

6024 King Edward I was seen in the Green Signals tour of Crewe and seemed fairly complete but nothing has been said (as far as I know) about its return to service.

35022 Holland America Line & 35027 Port line I think are owned by the trust but we don’t hear a lot about them.

6960 Raveningham Hall is at Margate? Are there plans to bring it back?

45231 was withdrawn a couple of years back at the end of its ticket I believe, is this going to Margate to join the queue?

And if I’ve forgotten any? I might have missed news but I only recently came back into the railway world last year and feel it’s easier to ask you guys than trawl through years of articles.

I look forward to any info.

Pg. 4 of the Royal Scot Locomotive & General Trust accounts, published in December, suggests that 6024 will be back in "early 2026".

Thanks, I’ll have a look through

The black 5 45231 I believe will be being overhauled soon it's still at Crewe. The A4 has its boiler off and now it's wheels off, the King seems to have progressed decently but it's GWR so the less said the better. I'm much more interested in what's happening with the 2 Bulleids

Does anyone know what will happen to 34046 when it’s ticket expires?

Thanks for the info.

Yes I would like to know as well, I believe Port Line has run in preservation so that would be closer but I haven’t heard or seen anything.

I believe its previous ticket expired in 2017 and it did a test run in 2020. So reading between the lines I would say end of 2026/early 2027 as I think mainline certificates last 7 years (Correct me if I’m wrong). I suppose it could run on heritage lines for a couple of years but that would depend on LSLs loco availability now and in a couple of years time depending on other locos status.
