NSW Rail Museum, Railway museum in Thirlmere, Australia.

The NSW Rail Museum houses the largest collection of heritage rolling stock in Australia, featuring an extensive array of locomotives and carriages across multiple exhibition halls.

Established in 1962, the museum preserves railway heritage through its collection of authentic steam locomotives, passenger cars, and industrial equipment from different periods of Australian history.

The museum displays how railways influenced the development of New South Wales communities through artifacts, photographs, and personal accounts from railway workers and passengers.

Located 90 kilometers from Sydney via the M5 motorway, the museum operates daily with heritage train rides available on weekends and during school holidays.

The museum contains a 105-foot turntable from the former Enfield steam depot, which maintains the operational heritage fleet in the roundhouse facility.
