It is the Reynolds collection in Wetaskawin alberta, I've wandered around there and have similar pictures. The Province of Alberta Built a Huge Museam Filled entirely with vehicles he donated showing every aspect of Alberta Life from the first Hand and Horse Drawn Farm Machinary to Trucking and Cars And Racing... It's just astounding. In addition there is a huge warehouse bigger than a football field containig all kinds of vehicles on palletized racks at least 3 high, the other half is all tracked vehicles on a hugh dirt floor. On the otherside of the test track (A replica of an old speedway for racing old ModelT's) there is the aviation hanger... Full! Then there is the stuff he kept which includes all the military stuff, he might just break the record on CMP's in one location... NONE FOR SALE!!! I was told in no uncertain terms when I made a special trip there in 1999 when I heard he was selling things. He still had his own original museum where the tank is and lots of CMP's and BCATP aircraft , Native and Pioneer stuff, lots and lots of stuff....
When I was there in 99 there was a big announcment when he donated an additional 80 aircraft to the big museum.
Not bad for an old RCAF Mossie Pilot, He has one of those to! Oh yea .. steam tractors steam machines , old amusement rides, the first dragline ever built, Buggies....

DAMN!! I THINK HE WINS...
