[quote user="basementdweller"] I find we get lots of advice of what we should try to accomplish yet it is the same half a dozen guys who show up on a Saturday morning willing to actually work.  In closing I must point out that we have had some generous donations from the community and some success with local grants, but nowhere near what it would take to build a structure over the display. [/quote] PRECISELY!!!! And so eloquently put, if I may add. If any of you out there are seriously involved with a railroad-related preservation group, you know how accurate the above post is. Is restoring a steam locomotive to operation wasteful? My answer (and I think the most accurate in any case) is that if it's your [group's] locomotive, you decide the answer. If it's not, then it's not your place to tell someone whether it is or not. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits all statement in this community.  Nothing will piss people off more than the "armchair preservationist" who is in no way affiliated with the project, piping up to lecture people how they should have done, or should do 'xyz' instead. Just my two cents.
