Dear Wanda:

You are not alone in the care of large objects that are, by nature, forced
to sit outside and weather in the elements.  The Association of Railway
Museums (ARM) publishes a superb document called "Recommended Practices"
which is often hailed by the AAM as a great example of a museum group
finding and promoting its own professional standards.  A board member from
ARM is near you in Vancouver.  Contact Don Evans, President, West Coast
Railway Association, Box 2790 Stn Main Vancouver, B.C. V6B 3X2 Phone:
(604) 524-1011.  Best wishes!

Stephen E. Patrick
