The workshops' collection was feared to have been scrapped during the Sierra Leone civil war from 1991 to 2002. After this the works were viewed by Colonel Steve Davies who with the support of the Sierra Leonean government and the National Railway Museum of the United Kingdom established the Sierra Leone National Railway Museum in 2005. No.107 is currently on display having been statically restored to high cosmetic standards.
