Now that she has been withdrawn will she be repaired or placed on display?
Re: 2702 parked by the coal.
Has this engine been withdrawn? I thought it was still in operation?

Re: 2702 parked by the coal.
Both 2701 & 2702 have been withdrawn from Rovos duties, and as far as I am aware, and stand to be corrected here, both loco boilers need major rebuilding as well as the under-carriage of both locos need to be totally renewed before they will ever see the main-line operations with Rovos again.
I hope that this will be the case in the not too distant future!
