Someone out there will want to save it because of its 'celebrity status' regardless.....

Dont you mean the pston shot through the Crankcase and the engine room door and managed to recover it a few feet from the railway line somewhere between Penmeanmwr and Shotton (cant remember the exact location.)
Makes you glad the Skin of 55002 is tougher than that of a 60.
60081 is a christmas tree. But i did hear off some EWS blokes that given 12months it'll be back out.
