Communication is the key. What good is it if nobody knows what or what isn't going on. Museums may conduct business between key people regarding what gets put up for sale or ???? But how do the common folk find out about such things?? I know I'd sure feel a lot better having tried to save "something" and failing, than to never having known about the opportunity in the first place. I once offered to help get a PRR GG1 electric for the Museum at Northeast Pa. L.S.R.H.S. / NHRS. I had the means at the time and the "time" was right. I was ignored, but at least I was able to put forth an effort. I would agree that you can't save absolutely everything
and you'd be nuts to try. OTOH, 4450 was worth a better effort, and nobody will ever convince me otherwise.
