Museums don't have to feature 'working' exhibits, in fact I suspect in general most don't.

If corrosion sees the front drop off a roller - well, that's nothing but the owner's problem.

I've seen machinery that was abandoned for scrap years before many of today's road engines were even built new. Sometimes watching nature take it's path and seeing a lump of iron return from whence it came has a peaceful charm of it's own.
