ALCo S1 Switcher w/no 77120 aka BSC 801 alive again

ALCo 77120 (aka BSC 801) idling in Ferry Meadows yard on the Nene Valley Railway on the Sunday 6th October during the Autumn Diesel Gala. The loco had been delivered to the yard by Reid Freight Services on 25th September and our team wasted no time in prepping the engine for a start. The cab was cut and lowered for the transport by road, and one of the next tasks will be refitting it back in its correct position. If you are interested in helping with the restoration of this locomotive, or other stock please contact either Northumbria Rail or The International Railway Preservation Society.

804 is still for sale from Railworld. The main issue is that any purchaser would probably be required to move the loco away from Railworld, and the Nene Valley Railway probably wouldn't accept another (at least not until it was restored).

We were unable to get lifting gear to site before the diesel gala, and we had said we were going to restart the engine over that event. And to be honest what would be the point of fixing the cab if the engine/prime mover doesn't start?

Shouldn't fixing the cab be higher on the list?
