As far as "expensive" replacement parts--less$ than for any other newer model. If the air compressor goes down, they don't need an original to replace it with. Any comp. that will do the job can be installed-cut /patch/weld is how RR shops fix things. Unlike modern cars, where there is no way to mount just anything, old locos are like '57 Chevys--Plenty of room to work with and if still running -full of all sorts of non-original parts. As long as the frame is structurally sound, GPs, Fs, and the rest can work for another 50 years. Progress=Overrated
