Help us keep Tasmania’s transport history moving!

Alongside general donations through our PayPal button on the website, we also currently have two ongoing fundraising campaigns helping us restore and preserve some very important pieces of Tasmania’s railway history.

C22 Steam Locomotive Restoration:
Our goal is to return C22 to service, providing much-needed steam locomotive backup to M5 and helping ensure we can continue offering steam train experiences well into the future.

ZA6 Restoration & Sign Writing:
We’re also raising funds for the sign writing and remaining work needed to complete ZA6, helping bring this important locomotive closer to its finished appearance.

Every donation, big or small, helps us move these projects forward.

If you’d like to support either project, or make a general donation to the museum, please consider contributing via our fundraising pages, alternatively by simply visiting the museum on Sundays.

Thank you for helping us preserve Tasmania’s transport history for future generations.

Australia's favourite giving platform.

Attention is now turning to the bicentennial decals for ZA6 🇦🇺

Like everything else involved in restoring and preserving our heritage rolling stock, reproducing these decals doesn’t come cheaply.

To help cover the cost, we’ve reopened a small fundraiser specifically for the ZA6 bicentennial decals.

Every contribution, big or small, helps and if you’d like to help, donations can be made via the link below or via PayPal on our website.

It’s all hands on deck aboard former suburban carriage SS7!

Work is progressing well on the restoration of SS7, with plenty happening both inside and out.

Inside the carriage, painting, varnishing and the installation of the new luggage racks is continuing at a steady pace.

Externally, roof replacement continues, broken windows are being removed and the overhaul of the brake components got underway today.

There’s still plenty of work ahead with work our December 1 deadline fast approaching 🎅

Trying to turn an all black locomotive into an embroidered patch isn’t an easy task. Getting shading and some features to stand out means some colour compromises and tweaks have to be made.

Thanks to A1 Insignia for the version 2 design of our Q5 patch.
