what about... railways to yesterday...they took over the D&SNG(have done a pretty good job) and it is still running. If Railways takes over, (sure we have to deal with their logo on the tender, Put you can edit it out) They might give them the money to restore some engines... I thank The FEBT(which i will be joining in a couple years) For taking care of the buildings so the Orbisonia area has an attraction.
These are the opinions of a twenty Four year old model railroader/narrow gauge/standard gauge steam fan.
