Is anyone aware of any updates as to the restoration of the Great Eastern Railway Y5 Class locomotive at all? I know it was moved to Flour Mill which has a couple of photos, but I can't find any additional information as to any potential progress;

Re: Y5 'Coffee Pot' 229
Rob,
The GERS GE News reported this a few years back but has been silent since. I have asked the question on the GERS members only Yahoo! Group...
and the initial responses are that it's all gone very quite, the website has not been updated (which you realise) and there has been no response to any form of enquiry for some time including telephone unanswered (which implies though that the line is still in use).
Anyone live in that neck of the woods?
