Stumbled upon this website in a recent web search, looks like someone want to preserve 507 001. Thought it might spark some interest on this thread in the hope that one gets saved.

It came from a news article in RailAdventWe propose to preserve 507001 to ensure that the class's contribution to the region's railway history is not forgotten. This website has been set up to gauge interest and get organised.

The man behind the scheme is lifelong rail enthusiast, Robert Hampton. He realised that the Class 507 units were soon to be consigned to history, and decided to start The Class 507 Preservation Project to save one of them. H
If enough people respond to Robert's appeal and confirm their interest in supporting the project, he hopes to open a crowdfunding effort to raise sufficient funds to both purchase a complete Class 507 unit and move it to a new location.
