I've been told by museum volunteers that the museum is planning, or at least exploring, a fundraiser to help bring it back to life. I wouldn't be surprised if the donation program described in my link above wasn't the seeds for this fundraiser, or at least a test to gauge interest.
I also hope they find the funding and manpower soon to begin work on bringing the #4 0-4-0T back to life. I always enjoyed seeing that rather large tanker chugging up and down the "first mile".
