Museum quality engines are all in museums

If it hasn't got a boiler certificate the boiler's dead

If it has got a boiler certificate the boiler may well be dead (boilers 
fail in service, not on the mantelpiece. If they're being used, they're 
probably in ticket, at which point they become a dead engine with a 
current boiler certificate)

If you're not allowed to go and see an engine before buying, it's either 
nicked or in a lot of trouble

Caveat emptor, as they say.
