102's tank had deteriorated due to six years of storage. The locomotive was successfully fired up for a minute using this temporary fuel supply with two of the eight cylinders firing (only six were considered operational as two cylinders had stuck exhaust valves). This however ended when the vibrations of the engine jarred the temporary external fuel feed out of the temporary fuel tank, starving the engine of fuel and causing it to shut down prematurely. The decision was already made by then to mothball the project, and so the locomotive was returned to long-term storage. As of 2010, the RPSI website reported that 102 had its leaky roof patched with tarpaulins, and that there were no plans to restart it in the near future. It requires a full overhaul, supposedly much of which relates to the locomotive's body, engine, and other associated components. No further work was done to the locomotive until it was sold in late 2011 to the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum. In January 2012, 102 was transported with fellow UFTM resident CIE 113 Class B113 from Whitehead to Cultra under the cover of night. Although 102 was able to operate, albeit in a limited capacity due to the extent of engine repairs required, neither was mechanically fit enough to make the trip under their own power. The two locomotives were instead hauled by NIR 111 class locomotives 112 Northern Counties and 8113 (113) Belfast & County Down. Prior to the move, 102 was repainted in its original red with yellow stripe livery. Locomotive 101 remained in storage at Whitehead, Co. Antrim, ostensibly as a source of spare parts for 102. Due to pressure for space as a result of the arrival of B(141) class locomotive B142 from Inchicore, attempts were made to seek a buyer for 101. This did not materialise, and it was decided to reluctantly scrap the partially stripped 101 and remove any useful parts for use on 102. The remains of the locomotive were cut up in January 2010. Livery When delivered the locomotives were painted in an unlined maroon livery with, on the ends, a "flowing V" in a golden yellow colour. The "NIR" logo and numbers were transfers. From 1978 the livery was changed to blue with an orange/red shallow 'V' stripe on each end ( See photograph above). The first locomotive in the new livery appeared on 3 July.
