The one on TV was the "South Gippsland Railway". AFAIK they offer a
one day course on T class diesels (1st series) or Railmotors (DERM,
Redhan or Superchook). After completing this you can (could?) do a day
and a half on steam (K or D3).  Try writing to PO box 5, Korumburra,
3950.

Soon the Victorian Goldfields Railway may begin offering one day Steam
courses (J or K class). Write to VGR, Hornsby St, Maldon, 3463 or ring
03-5475 2966.
