... that the Leschenault Lady(pictured), which is believed to be the oldest operational Australian-built steam locomotive, is returning to steam today [ie 22 August 2021], after a lengthy overhaul? Source: "Believed to be the oldest Australian built steam locomotive still in operational order ..." (Collections WA); "... Leschenault Lady - the oldest Australian built steam locomotive continued to be operational." (Rail Heritage WA); "Leschenault Lady returns to steam ... Sunday 22 August 2021" (Shire of Capel}
ALT1:... that the Leschenault Lady(pictured), believed to be the oldest operational Australian-built steam locomotive, returned to service in time to celebrate the sesquicentenary of railways in Western Australia? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)
Comment: I would like this DYK to be visible from 00:00 GMT to 12:00 GMT on 22 August, which would make it visible from 8 am to 8 pm Western Australian time, and also until 13:00 on that day in Western Europe (Brits love old steam engines, especially ones designed in the UK like this one).
Overall: Ideally if approved the DYK should be published on August 22, 2021, the day it returns back to operational service. Otherwise ALT1 could be used as it is not date specific. Dan arndt (talk) 03:44, 10 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
