Is it intended to operate them once in a while on the WW&F or just again to assure a weather proof long-term storage, abet with connection to live track?
Operation is possible for special events that will be coordinated with both organizations. Once such event, The Grand Reunion, will be occurring this winter: [

Additional events will be announced. Due to the fragility and unrestored original fabric of the Rangeley, its use and access will be extremely limited. It will not be used for regular "first class" service on the WW&F.
there should be a push for active fire protection, sprinklers & sensors.
Such an effort is underway.
