U.S. practice was to have a bell ringing all the time a switching (shunting) loco (steam or whatever) is moving in a yard. That's not compulsory now but it's handy if quiet locos can be heard by staff who may be walking along a track being used by shunting locos etc. Same reason a loco is supposed to sound its whistle or horn before starting off.
I don't know, whilst I sort of agree with you it was originally built in the UK. Despite it's extensive modifications it should still be returned to it's original condition as Stanier intended
I agree, it's not like this is a rare loco, I mean there were enough around for them to think scrapping one was alright back in 2013, so i think it should keep turkish specs at least while it's static, as long as they don't interfere with modern safety standards and/or British loading gauge, I feel leaving it in turkish spec would be a fair thing to do
I also prefer a loco to retain the appearance it had for most of it's working life, I remember seeing a photo of a cuban 2-8-0 built by baldwin locomotive works that was bought back to the usa via franc, and it was put on display with it's cuban mods which included a extended coal bunker and a Center mounted headlight unfortunately when it was restored to operation despite being operational when it was purchased they returned it to the usual appearance that particular class of narrow gauge 2-8-0 has. They had a unique looking loco but decided to make it look like every other of the many remaining "C" class locos.

i hope she gets kept in Turkish style
why does the shunter make that clanging noise
Aaron Harris because it has freedom of speech
You know I was actually going to say why it makes that noise but your response was too good XD
Save blowing the Horn all the TIME...

I think as a not to where it spent most of it's working lift the 8F shouldn't be returned to the why it as built

Is this a cosmetic restoration, or will it steam again?
