I can totally relate to that.  I'm a volunteer for a main line operator and the
"Board", if given the chance, would love to create some more space in the
workshop.   Their intentions are to scrap two cars (forgive me for not knowing the
details etc) as they are not rail worthy and will cost around $6-7000 to repair.

Along to the rescue come the devoted volunteers!!!

No-cost labour repairs are being carried out to save these irreplaceable cars.
