Interesting thread title. Does that mean that they have done OTHER restorations that were NOT FRA compliant?
I think it means that some of their other restorations have been cosmetic only. Perhaps this isn’t the best way to say it, but this is the wording used on the Age of Steam site.

While anything is possible, I will likely say NO based on the roundhouse reports listed on their website.
I came to that conclusion because:
- The facility became operation in 2012
- Some machines did not become operational til 2014 [such as the lathe]
- IT seems the staff focused on going through their collection with easier maintenance issues [such as 5 year mandatory inspections] first before tackling a big job as a full blown FRA compliant restoration.
I see that they did a non-group opening. Was that successful? With the more important task of restoring steam, l can see that managing tourists might be an undesired nuisance.
