The Mad River Museum keeps most of their equipment in good cosmetic condition. There are a few pieces there in need of some TLC, but at the RRMPA, literally everything sitting outside there is in horrible condition. The MR&NKP certainly keeps their motive power in good condition, and I'm sure having one of the flagship engines of the Nickel Plate in their collection would be top priority.
I don't remember where I heard this, but I remember hearing somewhere that the engine would be placed under a shelter upon restoration; keep in mind I'm not sure if this is true or not, so take it with a grain of salt.
