Metrovick Co-Bo D5705

I am interested in finding out a little more about the preserved Co-Bo locomotive D5705 and understand it has been at the ELR.
Can anybody confirm the current status and location of this locomotive?
I have seen on the class 15 web site that there is currently a bogie appeal for it so assume it is undergoing further restoration.
Any info welcome.

Hi MC , it is still at the ELR, it is privately owned but the class 15 lads are doing the restoration. From memory the 15 would be done before the Co-Bo and the 15 is still along way off.
One of or in this case two of those jobs which make progress as time and funds permits.

Link for the two groups http://www.d8233.org.uk

Cheers John
