The society will operate four trips to Wallarobba during the day, with trains departing its depot in Webbers Creek Road, Paterson, at 9.36am, noon, 2pm and 4.05pm.

Passengers should be at the depot at least 30 minutes beforehand.

Tickets for train trips will only be available at Paterson on the day – on a first come, first served basis – for a gold coin donation.

Seating is limited so get in early.

Guided tours of the depot and rolling stock will also be conducted on the day.

“November this year marks 30 years since the Rail Motor Society was established,” society president Arthur Burgess said.

“The society has now grown to be one of this state’s five accredited main line heritage rail operators.

“Our organisation has also been accredited as a rail operator in both Queensland and Victoria.

“We are proud of our safety and performance record and of the overwhelming support we receive from the Lower Hunter community.”
