Here's a tough one to show other choices a museum may have to face:

The local transit system donates a car that has been totally restored (we are talking
an Elmira 1138 type of job.) All this car will ever need for the next fifty years is
routine maintenance and to be kept clean, providing it remains indoors when not in use.

The complete, but fragile first car to run in the museum's city of focus has been
discovered. It needs a complete restoration, but should not deteriorate much more until
then, providing it is kept in the carbarn. Tarping it over on a siding will not provide
adequate protection.

There is only room for one more car in the barn. Which car gets the spot?  Ken J.
