Depends whats more expensive:

Pushing it off the end, Court case, Dockyard repairs, the possibility of loosing the diesel loco aswell.

or

Transporting it to a railroad to restore it.

I think with the escalating prices on the UK preservation societies i think given the choice now the SVR would have dunked the flying pig.

Well, they're both on the big car float now, so probably both going to the bottom.

BTW This wasn't supposed to be serious.

Anyway, nice screenshots

One in fact. That was never used. Not a lot of it either, was nearly directly hit by a German bomb. Boiler was no more after that.
