Well, to restore and run the 51, it would be the proverbial "Jack up the Whistle and drive a new locomotive under it."
The frame is broken, the brasses are shot, the Boiler is Iron and would have to be replaced, the cab would have to be rebuilt. No telling how the old iron driver centers are... The best parts of the locomotive are the stack (rebuilt by CRRM), the Box headlight (also by CRRM) and the Dome Rings.
But one Can dream, Can't they?
