Yes, a few hundred hours of loving restoration needed, but will be gladly given and the results will be worth every bit of effort.

In definite need of some TLC, no doubt will be restored to their former glory in the future, Interesting image :-)

[Eve Pulsater]

Ooh! So much work to do but won't they look grand when they are done? Will you be keeping a photo log of their progress?

[Peter]

Lovely pov and framing, love the lighting on the train and subtle colours, another great historical engineering shot Babs;)

[Sam]

I wonder if it ever will get restored! Looks like a lot of work is needed :)

[Lois]

Will be another beauty when restored! Great pov

[Laurie F]

wonderful old find

[Kathie]

Guess they're pushing each other off...but not far. Those are huge restoration jobs.

[Lee]

Reminds me of Thomas the tank engine. Its good to know they'll be restored and not just simply scrapped.

[Lee Potter]

I think the oldness and rust add that much more to this picture. Great capture

[Joey]

Gorgeous shot, just love these old trains

[Deb]

What great find. Just imagine them in their prime! Wonderful shot Babs.

[Ethel]

A very pleasing picture

[Marnie]

Great interest in this shot Babs, but you're spot-on re the TLC.

[Gena Pegg]

Love this find!!! Great capture Babs!!1

[Andrew S]

I remember reading about the South Maitland Railway, but i didn't know any engines survived. I hope they restore them!

[Rachel]

A lovely old puffing billy! I'll bet hubby was excited!

Richmond Vale railway museum is a great place and as you can imagine David and I end up there very often on our outings.
I don't suppose all of the railway engines get to be restored as some will be used for parts for other engines,
