Prince George, B.C.- The  Railway and Forestry Museum in Prince George has a new attraction.A  wooden train playground is now ready for fun.  Made possible by donations from Carrier Lumber, Dollar Saver Lumber, Rolling Mix Concrete , the Prince George Community Foundation and the dedication of  Larry Townsend, the  wooden train playground offers pint sized play opportunities.

“It came with 5,000 parts and  set of  diagrams” says Larry Townsend the volunteer who took on the task of piecing together the train. “It’s all deck materials basically, and it had a few challenges”.  Townsend does not have a background in carpentry, so he  says the compound mitre  work was “the most difficult”.

Complete with wooden track, Townsend says there  are still a couple of  items to be added to the train “We’re going to  put in a couple of  seats in the engine, a couple of leavers,  and a bell  with  a string so children can announce the train’s arrival.

It took 3 1/2 year old Wyatt Slugowski  no time at all to climb on board,  explore the  train  and then hang off the  caboose and  yell out “All Aboard!”
