[BCMA] Looking to re-home our Colonist Car Replica

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

The Museum of Vancouver is disposing of a prop/replica (about 7/8th scale) of the "Colonists' train car" from the museum's former Vancouver history exhibition (on view from 1970s-90s). Please see attached images of the train car then and now. It was well researched and constructed, and a popular piece for a climb aboard experience. We would love to see it find a new home. Please share with anyone who may be interested.

Measurements:
There are two pallets, the first one being 40"x 47", the second being the same.
The longest piece is approx 180" by 80" and the tallest is 180" by 96".
There are quite a few pieces to this and it would probably be able to be taken in one go via a large truck.

Transport would be the responsibility of the recipient.

Interested parties please contact Winter Stacey at 604-730-5329 or wstacey at museumofvancouver.ca

Many thanks,
Wendy
