On the 21st of March 2021, Steamrail Victoria operated their first steam hauled tour in 497 days. The 'Y Not Try Again' tour ran from Newport to Southern Cross via Brooklyn and then to Somerton via the Albion-Jacana goods line.

The tour was also a test run for Y112 after receiving repairs over the past 14 months. The wet and slippery conditions for tender first running in combination with the locomotive hauling to its maximum load led to some components of the under gear running abnormally warm. Given that it was still a test run for the locomotive, it was decided to return to Newport via the freight lines to permit the engine to be monitored along the way whilst operating at a restricted speed.

Meanwhile, back at Newport Workshops, T356 was being prepared to substitute Y112 and continue the tour. Once the two locomotives were swapped, T356 hauled the special back to Southern Cross with the intentions of continuing the suburban shuttle to Westall. However due to a section of broken rail near Westall, the rest of the tour was cancelled and T356 hauled the train back to Newport.
