As you can imagine, the launch generated a lot of interest and the Museum has been liaising with the the two main heritage train operators about their plans to use 3265. At this stage, there are only two confirmed trips involving 3265 and both are much longer than the Bankstown loop trips run for the 20 September launch event. One is being run by 3801 Limited on Sunday 4 October 2009 (see http://www.3801limited.com.au/091004cockatoo.htm) to Moss Vale via the Illawarra line and the other by the NSW Rail Transport Museum (“Heritage Express”) to the Blue Mountains on Saturday 7 November 2009 (see http://www.heritageexpress.com.au/2009-11-005-STDO.htm). Bookings and enquiries should be made through these websites. Thank you for your interest and support. Andrew Grant Senior Curator, Transport Dear 3265 fans

A hugely complex and potentially dangerous (and so highly regulated) machine such as a steam loco is a huge task for which the whole team of volunteers, conservators and curators should be congratulated. I look forward to the well-deserved launch to great fanfare! The final colour scheme will look spectacular but primer evokes those official pictures by railway companies recording the momentous occassion when a brand a new loco rolled out of the shops.
