[quote user="cascadenorthernrr"]I never thought that for a moment. I knew someone must own it. (whether they know it or not) [/quote] I can assure you they are fully aware of who owns it.  [quote user="cascadenorthernrr"]If BMMECNYC would kindly reveal who it is it would be appreciated.[/quote] In case you were wondering, I was eating dinner with my wife and model railroad club.  You are not the center of my universe. As far as the collection's ownership is concerned.  While I admire your enthusiasm for wanting to save these locomotives, your goals do not pass the litmus test of preservation (as Tom so eloquently pointed out on the MR forums).   At the proper time, the ownership will become readily apparent, and I am sure that the owner would more than welcome your donation towards the actual preservation of these artifacts.  As was pointed out in either this thread and/or the MR thread, what happens to the locomotive(s) when you can no longer take care of it?  They would be 1200+ miles from where they once ran, far removed from a majority of people who have an interest in the NYC.  They would be even more difficult to move back to their home territory by that time.   There would be little of the historic material left due to your renovation.   They would likely end up in a scrap yard.
