Unfortunately, without the heavy forges and other major industrial capabilities of the era that built them they will be difficult and expensive to maintain. Hopefully, those interested enough can maintain enough of the necessary knowledge to both build and maintain these beasts for the children of another age. Who knows, we may need some in 50 years when oil completely runs out. <br /> <br />LC
