That's great that you love it, and it's great that you and others volunteer your time doing something that you love. But I'm sorry, that has nothing to do with whether or not people want to donate money---especially in these financial times. If it gets parked, so be it. It's not the end of the world. If I had a choice of feeding the mouths in my home or donating to a locomotive, I think the choice is obvious where my money will go. (For those who can't figure it out because they can't think beyond trains, it would go towards my kids).
