Does anyone know what happened to this loco? Information online seems minimal is it being restored?

(Log-in required) says under restoration at Crewe Heritage Centre

This loco is in fact the second 6100 as it swapped numbers with 6152 in 1933

6100 was overhauled and steamed briefly in Spring 2009, appearing at the West Somerset and Llangollen Galas. Unfortunately many problems with the engine were revealed. It was subsequently moved to LNWR Crewe where it has been stripped down again for inspection and assessment. It is likely to be some time before it is repaired and reassembled.

And during this time, its boiler ticket is ticking away. :|
