Let’s see how much of a groundswell of opinion we can create for this.

I think the Glos Warks would be well placed to do the work. They are already well on the way to getting the NRM’s 4F 44027 back into steam and the NRM seem happy with progress. And, I guess, all inside cylinder 0-6-0s are probably pretty similar!

When Green Arrow and the Super D were steam they were both preserved privately.
The magazine Steam Railway has had appeals in the past for Oliver Cromwell and the GCR 01, so without these appeals these locos wouldn’t be running.
So looking at the past record for the NRM it seems like if you could start an appeal you may just get it running.
Also if you could get a preserved line on side someone like the Glos Warks and also get the magazines on side you may just be able to get this loco running again
