If it is the case, then don't worry.Even if Metra gives IRM an F40C, there would still have to be a large fundraising effort. Many observers do not realize the huge expense of acquiring and storing (not to mention preserving and restoring) any piece of rolling stock. Funds must be available for transportation and track space initially, and for operation, maintenance and restoration costs eventually.
