Sounds like an interesting idea you have.

We have the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, Ca about 20 miles from my house. They have a shop to restore and maintain the old engines and trollies in their collection. There is also a railroad museum in San Diego.

Likewise, I may stop by to find out if they can pour Babbitt.
