    Well, I contacted the museum, and got a very nice reply, to the effect that the two locos are in better shape than they may appear. While they wish they could store them indoors, the priority now is to acquire and restore two old SP shop buildings to accommodate storage and restoration efforts. The engines have been treated with an anti corrosive primer and removable/stealable parts have been stored in the museum warehouse. There is no short term plan for restoration, but there is a long term desire for it. We are all welcome to participate, with volunteer time or financially. Fair enough.
    So maybe there is some glimmer of hope the museum will eventually do something...
    Regards, Otto K.
