Rail Motor Society, Railway museum in Paterson, Australia.
The Rail Motor Society maintains an extensive collection of self-propelled railway vehicles from different periods of Australian transport development at its Paterson facility.
Founded in 1984, the museum emerged from the Newcastle Branch of the Australian Railway Historical Society to preserve CPH rail motors facing retirement.
The museum holds eleven heritage-listed vehicles that demonstrate the evolution of regional transportation methods in New South Wales from 1923 to 1972.
Visitors can access the museum located at Webbers Creek Road, where volunteers conduct tours and share information about the preserved railway vehicles.
The collection features CPH 3, the oldest existing rail motor in New South Wales, alongside HPC 402, the sole functioning 400 class rail motor.
