I may be hallucinating, but I'm sure I can remember a report in one of
the railfan magazines a few years ago with a photo showing it partially
stripped and the boiler in steam. As I understood it, the boiler had
been repaired and they were seeking the funding/resources to restore the
rest of the loco. WCR was also mentioned somewhere. Can anyone confirm
this? Maybe I have fallen for an old april fools joke. :-)
