It used to be on display in the main display area, missing its gun. However it was fully restored during 2006-2009 and was back in running order on 29 May 2009. For the restoration, original parts were extensively used, but the transmission, radiator and some other small parts were replaced with newly-built parts. It is fitted with metal plate (rather than wood) inserts in the idler wheels. (Source: M. Foti, P.-O. Buan).
