Rail Heritage Centre Thirlmere

The Rail Heritage Centre, Thirlmere, operated by the NSW Rail Transport Museum, is Australia’s oldest and largest railway museum.

A step back in time, to an era when everyone travelled by train, it is a nostalgic visit for older visitors, and a novel and educational experience for children of all ages.

Open daily, it provides visitors with the most complete overview of railway heritage in NSW with public access and information for most of the collection of rolling stock and other railway artefacts, including signalling and permanent way displays.

Steam hauled trains operate on the Thirlmere Heritage Railway on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month, except in fire danger periods.
