Kipert’s garage Museum in Olympia is a little known gem of interesting transportation and farm items, just south of Olympia next to the Tumwater Airport.  The owner has a number of railroad related items, some full size.  Part of the collection is being auctioned in March.  Follow the link to the Aumann Auctions for auction information.  Note that there are two listings to cover some 600 items up for sale.  

I have spoken to the owner and most of the full size items are being retained, including the narrow gauge Shay he is rebuilding and a near full size D&RGW caboose.  He hopes to have those items available for limited viewing at some point in the future.
