If you want to restore a steam engine, the first thing you have to do is fill the tender with money, preferably, $100 bills. About the same thing with passenger cars. And you can almost count the people on your fingers and toes that have the expertise to restore them now. The guys that built them are in grave yards, or soon will be. In most cases, volanteers do more harm than good(they don't know any better). Think about willing some of your estate to the cause. Maybe in your state it would just go to taxes anyway. I don't think many of us will be around to see it run again.
