Now regardless about the 314
it’s highly unlikely any will be saved not sure what 204’s fate in the year will be but I suppose all of us are going to have to wait and see.
must be ashame when Bo’ness never got the chance to get one possibly due to issues and lack of space well if they’re going to literally buy a unit they have to get one car but it would Have to only be displayed that’s the issue to have a unit stuffed and mounted.
well I do not know many heritage railways in Scotland well I can name some.
Caledonian Railway at Brechin could but not likely they maybe not getting one but that could be a possibility or unlikely scenario.
Fife Heritage Railway only are a light railway of industrial stock unlikely good for a 314 to go their.
Strathspey Railway could but highly unlikely I mean depends but no.
Kieth and Dufftown Railway could but like Pacer prototype 140001 they could do same for a 314 as display only.
Scottish Industrial Railway Centre is a no.
Waverley Route Heritage Association could but no by my opinion however you never know.
Summerlee Museum could although it’s needs to be static beside the Half preserved 311 that is.
So yeah I do not know what’s happening we for now do not know I suppose we wait and find out but it’s highly unlikely.
To properly preserve a unit you need covered storage, which is a premium for most preservation sites and apart from Boness is not available at any of the above.
