There is a video on Youtube of a television news broadcast from Butte saying an organization is trying to raise funds to do a restoration. I have no idea if it is a mechanical one or cosmetic, but I can tell they want to raise $350,000. It is not just for the engine, but for a structure to house the engine, either where it will be restored, or where it will be displayed after restoration is complete.
