@@MSTV_2024 I'm forced to agree on that comment given how Dorrigo have somewhat wilfully let there collection rotting and decaying. Case in point 6042.

The collection is PRIVATELY OWNED. It takes money to restore them,that the owner doesn't have. The NSW taxpayers are funding this.

Great stuff THNSW. Thank you and all the people involved.

They might make it into a museum

Now, about the Dorrigo scrapyard…

It's coming home, its coming home it's coming home, transport's coming home

This is coming along well. Did all the rollingstock from the Broadmeadow auction sell? If not, what'll happen to those items? Is there any mechanism to prevent them being scrapped? I didn't have the ability to transport anything so I couldn't make any bids (I'm a uni student), but I'd be distraught to find out if historic stock was scrapped and I did nothing- particularly the end platform cars; some had service lives of up to 80 years and date back to pre-Federation days and there were 5 being sold off.

Now what about AD 6042? She’s sitting rusted and alone in a field, to be honest it’s giving thomas and friends vibes!

AD6042, is that the one rusting away in a paddock at Forbes NSW? If so, that's owned by Keith up at Dorrigo NSW.

THNSW or TAHE don't own 6042. They can't do anything with it.

Was that site once known as Railfleet Services annexed to Alstom?...

Why didn't they use Allellys? Hahaha. Will there be public access and where is it? The Dorrigo collection has been a schemozzle from the beginning. Hope more stuff can be put under cover for preservation and restoration.

People have mentioned Dorrigo, if nothing else the locos and rolling stock have remained intact and not cut up. I don't wish to get into the political of Dorrigo but it's clear everyone it's not a museum , it has been the best part of 40 years out on the open and I thing there should be some g9vernment intervention to get it down to Chullora. It should all be under cover and cosmetically restored first and then maybe some will be brought back I to running condition. I think the goal should be like the national railway museum in York. This heritage is way to important to be left to rot away to rust.

Dose anyone know what happened to 3801 it haven’t when on tire yet in 2024 what happened?

The Government needs to seize the assets at Dorrigo using the Heritage Act.

How close is this to where The Picnic Trains stables?
