Want them restored? Send them over to England, they know how to restore steam locomotives over there!
Oh?
They know how to do it in England without money?
You sure are giving the folks over here who use their brains, muscle and sweat to do restorations (most are volunteers) the short end of the stick...

Very good points, Rusty. I'd like to see the English restore a UP 4000 class, or an N&W J Class, or and N&W A Class, or an SP GS-4, or a Milwaukee S Class 4-8-4, or an NKP 700 class 2-8-4, or a UP 3900 Class, or a Santa Fe 3751 Class, or an SP&S 4-8-4, or a few Reading T-1 Class 4-8-4s, to name just a few. This beautiful English steam locomotives don't even have stokers.
