From multiple articles I've read over the last 7 years, the goal of the museum with the 1361 is to bring her back up to FRA spec and operate her.
I do recall seeing that a comestic restoration was going to be the plan but due to "turnover" in museum leadership the goal is now once again to operate her.
I don't blame the new leadership for trying to do so since the incompetent leadership the museum had years ago really mis-allocated the funds needed to restore her and bring her back up to FRA spec in Steamtown. It's the attitude of: "We've come this far, we might as well keep going".
