I didn't read every word, but I did go to the RBM&N site.
Can we assume that the 2102 has operated in 2021? Even Wikipedia doesn't know.
It depends on how you define "operating". The engine is capable of steaming and has had a couple of stationary test fires, but she has not moved under her own power yet.
But very nice undated Youtube footage - thanks for that.
If so, is it the only operational Reading T1 at the moment?
Chances are the 2102 will be the first of the two under restoration out of the shop door. The 2100 will soon join her in service. With that being said, however, there is absolutely no race between the two projects. ASR and R&N frequently exchange advice and assistance, and we are both committed to performing quality restorations that would do right by the men and women who forged these magnificent machines into existence.
