after having my post deleted. I was told I was too biased or crictical of the museum in Ottawa. I just felt that is National Museum is using Tax dollars to keep, maintain and showcase our railroad history there should be a better format for it.
Rusting relics in a warehouse on display is not a good way to showcase these items. I will admit it was great to see them up close but they need some help.
The royal hudson was interesting to me to learn it was in a wreck just down the street from where I live, rebuilt and ran again, now stored, mounted and stuffed for public display.
I remember reading somewhere on line a few years ago that the Museum wanted to get rid of the railroad equipment and use the space for some other display.
It is also very hard to take pics of them in that area they are displayed in, it is dark, and kind of small, but you could get good detail pics if you wanted, but only of one side. left sides as facing.
Personally i would like to see them show cased in a better setting. Do not want to see them rust away before some improvements are done to them.
Hope this sounds less critical sounding
