Whoa there easy now. Sounds like you've been out of the loop. Maybe haven't volunteered in a decade or so? Put your money where ya mouth is!
Those boys (and gals) are doing just fine working away in Niles Canyon where the collection is stored. The GGRM has a yahoo groups list too... here is an excerpt from the last posting...

Dave Roth will be leading the Wednesday work crew March 14. You're
invited!

We got lots done last weekend including:
- Monthly meeting, with progress reports
- Painted firepan with high-temp primer
- Organized SP 5131 interior
- Car inspection for future upgrades (report to follow)
- New step added to SP 5131 stairway by John Fenlon
- Conduit unloaded
- Some of SP 2360 window boards re-attached; ordered new self-tapping
screws for remainder
- Drill press tabletop trimmed to size

Next Saturday March 17 is the big "Triple Tank Engine" weekend at
N.C.Rwy. During the daytime, we'll continue on the Hot Project List
(see last week's posting - there's lots to do). There will be a
Brightside yard tour in the evening. We'll have SP 2472 and SP 2979
liounge staffed with docents.

See you soon at Brightside!
