Probably the Lachlan Valley Railway at Cowra. They have a 42, 3 x 44, 6 x
47 and ex-BHP D9. Some of the diesel locos are hauling revenue freight
both locally and ex-Sydney.
There are some steam locos, including a working D53. Non-working steam
locos are two C30s, a C32 and a D59.

It went to Dorrigo. 1919, which stood on a plinth out the front, also
went to Dorrigo but is now with GMR.
