Tom, I don't think that funerals are necessary if you model the SP.
Although the GS-4 was a "long ago"brass import, they appear on E-bay
frequently. Of course the more recent SP engines from RR are also
useful and don't forget the Atlantic in daylite colors from Southwind.
I also thought that the Milwaukee ribbed sided car was on Jim Kings
short list, although we haven't heard much about it lately.
