While it is better than them being scrapped, I'll bet these items will be looking for a new home within ten years. Civic groups often start a "let's get an old train" project with little thought of maintaining the equipment afterward. Rust and rot then set in, enthusisam dwindles, the items are declared an eyesore and hazard and they're disposed of, by sale, gift or the scrappers torch.
