A tag for a decommissioned 
locomotive which has become a tourist attraction and generally remains in one place.
- For a decommissioned railway car (freight or passenger), see
historic=railway_carinstead.
How to map
Place a node 
at the location of the locomotive or draw an area 
for the outline and use historic=locomotive. You can also name it with name=*. If the locomotive is a tourist attraction, then add tourism=attraction.
Some locomotives are located in a building, draw a area as a separate line with building=*. Set the locomotive separately as point or area in the building. Don't use building=* on trains, because a locomotive is not a house. Add to the locomotive the property location=indoor.
For a covered locomotive use covered=* or on a separate area building=roof.
Additional tags
name=*- the name of the locomotive, if there is one.operator=*- indicates the operator or name of the company operating the locomotive (e.g. as a tourism attraction)- addresses - the address of the locomotive
