About that steam tram....
I think someone has their wires crossed here..
I have only just caught up with this post.

Steam tram 103A ALMOST destroyed in the fire at Parematta Park.
It has been rebuilt and is now at Valley Heights ( on the line from
Sydney to Lithgow.) The Steam tram boys ended up there,...A very
political story, that one.

There was a also a replica infernal combustion engined steam motor

at

Parematta, This may well have been destroyed.

I saw Baldwin No1 some years ago at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney
in excellent condition. Whilst in Sydney for the games I visited
there again but the tram had moved somewhere.....any news on it ???

I will post some pics of all of the above when I can find them in

my

filing system .......if the cat hasn't eaten them.

If memory serves me correctly, Baldwin Steam Motor 1A was exchange
for the Powerhouse's C Class single truck saloon electric tram number
11 for display in the Ultimo complex. It now probably resides in
Storage at the Powerhouse complex at Castle Hill along with a Sydney
O class crossbench car and R Class Corridor Car 1738.
