2)NS is now very anti-steam. The engine is not even allowed to run locally
3)Stupid city council moved the bus depot right in front of the museum eliminating the parking used for special events that the museum needs for funding.
4) The bus depot has brought a large amount of drug traffic to the front of the museum. Every morning the staff has to collect piles of used needles in front of the museum. The museum has complained and the council said the museum should more tolerate of those who struggle with issues. They called the complaints racist.
Raising money to fund a train that was stripped of its insides, without anywhere to run it when the museum is struggling to stay afloat isn't going to happen.

Sad, I’ve visited once but after reading this I’ll never visit again. If the city won’t support their Heritage and the museum it may be time to take drastic measures. Two options as I see it. Move or dissolve the museum and sell the assets.
