Apparently at the moment there are no plans for Mona to return to steam, but then anyone who saw the state of her this year will understand why, would need a new firebox, tender, tanks, boiler, cab for a start!

Mona has a tender? That's news to me!
Also:

Service fleet for 2005/6 should be:

No.4 Loch
No.8 Fenella
No.10 GHWood
No.11 Maitland
No.12 Hutchinson
No.13 Kissack
No.15 Caledonia

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Maitland was being withdrawn for overhaul, hence the return to service of Kissack?

Dont know about Maitland, could well be time for overhaul, it wouldnt suprise me, she's been in service continualy now for years!

i think it had a very quick overhaul over the winter, they said it had been out of service for a while.
