Early-2018 Return Assured For Australia's Iconic No. 3801
TRANSPORT HeritageNSW, the body responsible for the care of Australia’s famous‘C38’Pacific No. 3801, has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the streamlined locomotive returns to action next year after an 11-year absence.

A number of technical issues were identified with the new-welded boiler, built in 2010 by Deutsche BahnMeiningen steam locomotive works, in Germany, which meant it did not comply with Australian standards.
