Wish List
It takes more than diesel fuel, water, and steel to keep the museum’s trains and facilities operating. We rely on an assortment of tools and consumables for maintaining our equipment, our grounds, and our buildings. We also go through grease, lubricating oils, sand, and much more maintaining and running our vintage locomotives and cars. Without all this, operations would grind to a halt.
Below is a list of materials and tools that can assist in the museum’s preservation activities. If you wish to donate items or make a non-financial contribution to the museum, please email us at info@mrym.org. All donations are tax-deductible.
