Let's not forget that AoSR has a lot of other locos that are either having cosmetic restorations being done or are waiting for cosmetic restoration let alone returned to operating condition. Once 643 is safely in the roundhouse it will likely be years before any work is started on her.
AoSR appears to have a well thought out plan to save and display these engines. All it takes is time and money. I doubt they have given 643 much thought other than getting her to Sugarcreek.
