Hi Kirk.
 
Sounds to me like you have a structure that seems unique to transportation museums, which have equipment issues far beyond what my art & history museum deals with. (But I volunteer with a RR museum on weekends, which has a similar model to what you describe.)
 
I'd bet big railroad and air museums could help - check out the California State RR Museum in Sacramento - they are huge and very professional. I can get other leads if you need them from my RR buddies.
 
Best Regards,
