Over here in Britain, our National Railway Museum in York is planning a major event for 2013. Bringing together all 6 of the remaining London and North Eastern Railway A4 4-6-2 Pacifics for the 75th anniversary fo 4468 Mallard's 126mph steam world record. This includes borrowing 60008 Dwight D Eisenhower from the USA and 60010 Dominion of Canada from Canada. Nothing is set in stone, due to funds and availability etc but this could be the biggest event of 2013 in the UK, something that might not be reproduced again...
If the museums think it is fesable, the 2 overseas locos will be brought over for a short period of time which may even include some cosmetic restoration etc.
I will keep you informed if anyone is interested.
