Pennsylvania Railroad DD1 3936, built in 1911 and at one time was beautifully restored and preserved INSIDE the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, has been languishing outside for the last 20 years or so due to what I can only call gross incompetence from the museum staff.
Only one pair, Nos. 3936 and 3937, survives. This pair is at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania on static display and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
It is beyond disgusting that the museum has allowed these unique motors to rot away. The museum is so incompetent that when they "restored" this thing they never noticed that the number boards still had the Penn Central renumbering of 4781 and just left them intact.
Words cannot properly express my utter contempt for the operators of the PA museum. Just about everything once donated to this place has been left to rot despite donations.
I have pissed away many dollars to this mismanaged place over the years and am absolutely disgusted at the waste of funds.

To finish the visit, DD10, the 'modern' half-cab Daimler, was brought out, and we were taken for a ride round town in it, before being dropped off back at the bus station. Following on from Daimler-engined DD1-9, this was the sole Gardner-engined one, and the only one to have a Massey body from new.
It was bought by John Marshall at Sutton-on-Trent in early 1987, and kept for 15 years, and has had a few owners in preservation since then.
