Only selection I saw for sale. You can visit them this weekend to see if they plan to bring more items.
I heard that they hope to set up G5 steam engine 35 by next year for display.


From their Facebook page.

Greetings #35 supporters!

As recently announced we are teaming up with Next Generation Rail Solutions for a full restoration of #35's running gear.

As well as reassembly and cosmetic restoration of the rest of the locomotive.

We are excited to report that this work will be commencing in the coming weeks.
