In 1996 my wife and I visited Vancouver Island. I became friends with Buster Leroy who was doing restoration work on WP&Y #1. He said to grab some old clothes and we'll get some work done.
This first photo shows Buster moving #1 out of the barn at the BC Forest Museum.
The second one shows yours truly, complete with googles, hearing protection, and dust mask, getting covered with dirt. After our work, I got to run #1 back into the barn.
I had not heard that #1 had left the property. I also would like to know where it now resides.
