    I believe so - big task though! Look up the Rogers K class 2-4-2 for an example of other river bank recoveries that are now running in NZ - K88 and K92.

    No plans for restoration I believe, though I can't find where I read that. There's another one stuck in the mud as well that they couldn't retrieve.

    Let's hope they have as much enthusiasm (and finances) to do something good with them following recovery.

    Back in 2009 I photographed these bits from one or more NZR V class 2-6-2, which I believe had been recovered from river banks. It's not completely clear to me whether the parts still exist or have been scrapped - this site suggests parts from four locomotives, but I can't find any reference to any of them on the current Fielding and District Steam Rail Society website.

    It appears these part were scrapped. Much more positive is the second V is now out of the river and back on the rails at Lumsden.
