As there was little urgency on this other projects were pursued, however, the locomotive was scheduled for a wedding train in December so both items were attended to.

The loco had to be stood down as the client doubled the size of the wedding party and the consequent weight of the train meant that NGG16 number 153 had to be substituted.
