    I come back to my point - in the modern world we don't need heritage railways for transport reasons, so modern laws of economics are not really relevant. As long as the collection can be maintained and viewed -and even occasionally used - isn't that enough justification, if people want to see and use it? I for one am opposed to false limits being applied by those who are not directly involved and are commenting on hypothetical grounds. Those who are involved will know what they believe they can cope with.

    Getting the grounded bodies now and conserving them does give future generations the option of rebuilding them, leaving them to rot away doesn't.
