Yes they were saved from the scrapman, but the engines in the yard are still deteriorating.

The best thing for the engines in the yard if they're never going to be housed in the museum would be to sell them to someone who would jump at the chance of owning &/or restoring an engine of their own.

The revenue the sales of these engines would bring could then be used to restore some of the other engines in the museum (or at least get the Showmans engines steamable again)

I'm sure George would rather them be restored & enjoyed rather than wasting away in the open.
