Thankfully, my call on this one was eventually answered. In February 2021 this locomotive was transferred from Riga to the Rewari Steam Shed for restoration and display. A protracted but very welcome campaigning victory!

This is the last surviving British built eight coupled saddle tank out of a total of only 117 built. Is anyone going to svae this unique and historic loco?
