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.
