This is a point that nobody's addressed...

 

Personally, I wonder how likely it is our successors will actually care if the electronic boards in secondhand locomotives are original, assuming they do all (or most of) the stuff the original boards did. The market already is heavily slanted toward operators moreso than collectors, otherwise we'd be having heated discussions over say, the ethics of putting TMCC boards in Protosound-1 locomotives.
