Yes, Tom -
As I donated $500 last year and another $500 this year towards #491's restoration,* I'd be willing to repeat that next year and again in 2016 IF the CRRM is likewise willing to pony up a promise that she would visit the C&TS (if welcome, of course) for several weeks once she is certified to do so.
I personally would like to see more sharing of equipment between the various museums for re-enactments & demonstrations - especially between the CRRM and the C&TS - as part of their shared mission of historic preservation and education. Just my own opinion.
