- Description
- The locomotive known as, "Old Curly", is a small construction or logging engine fitted with a saddle tank for water and with two sand domes on top. The engine has a 0-4-4 wheel layout, that is no front truck, 4 driving wheels and a 4 wheel truck under the cab. There is no tender wood or coal was stacked at the rear of the cab. This engine has been altered several times in its career. There is a layer of insulation (asbestos?) between the saddle tank and the boiler. Round pane of clear "headlight glass" located at AB106-GS-6 in June 2019
- Object History
- This locomotive is also known as 'Emory'. The locomotive was nicknamed 'Curly', an expression used to describe the devil. The engine was built in San Francisco in the 1879 and was used during the building of the harbour sea wall. It was likley built by Marshutz & Cantrell. It was acquired by Andrew Onderdonk in 1881 to use during construction of the Fraser Canyon section of the Canadian Pacific Railroad (CPR). The locomotive was the first logging locomotive in this area. It was later used on the section from Savona Ferry to Kamloops. The locomotive was layed up in 1887 and not used for several years until it was purchased by the British Columbia Timber and Trading Company (BCTTC) for use on their logging railway in Surrey. In the early 1900s the engine was shifted from Surrey to the company operations north of Powell River. Its history of use is not known while it was in this area. It was brought back to Vancouver, in a damaged condition and stored on BCTTC property. It was acquired by the CPR and restored as a 50th Anniversary Project in 1930. It was displayed at the Pacific National Exhibition grounds until the 1973 when it was brought to Heritage Village (later BVM) and restored again.

- Description
- Coin operated automatic player piano. Made by the J. P. Seeburg Piano Co. of Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. The serial number on the sound board is 62547. The number 5917 is stamped inside the piano body on the keyboard frame. This is an upright grand piano in seven octaves. The body is wood with a metal sound board. The main flywheel and bellows is driven by an electric motor in the base. The piano roll and the "harmonica" are also located in the base. The original coin slot and the rotating "On/Off" switch are on the right side. The slide lever to adjust the speed of the roll is on the left just above the key board. This lever moves a friction clutch against the flywheel to adjust the speed of the roll. There are three foot pedals to add colour to the sound. The piano has been refurbished and a new electric motor installed. The rubber tubing is new, as is the controlling circuitry.
- Object History
- Based on the serial number, it is likely that this piano was made in 1915 by an off shoot of the J. P. Seeburg Piano Company, Haddorff. Haddorf was located in Rockford, IL.
