Is it likely that you will ever be in working order in the future?

Yes, she is dead. (20/30)

Hint: Read the spiel in the first post, and the questions you are supposed to be answering.

Yes, it is. It was mainly directed to those trying to work out the locomotive - you've gotten really good at working out years!

Are we going to need a lot more questions that the ones you've allowed us for this?

At the time in question, had the railways been nationalized?

(You may need more time - I thought you might go straight for the when, which would have meant you would have figured it out in the time allotted.)

[I got thrown originally by the "What am I" question - I couldn't work out how it was a "what" and a "who" at the same time.]

(I think Who am I? refers to a name, and What am I refers to the species/type of object.)
