Talk:Picton – Mittagong loop railway line/@comment-121.216.216.236-20170628015756

A real missed oppurtunity by RTM/ Trainworks or whatever they're called these days. The line is owned by the government but they do very little in the way of maintenance to it. If I want to drive and fire a standard gauge steam loco I have to go overseas namely to the UK. The reason being that it's illegal to do it here. People in the UK pay big money just to have the chance to drive and fire a real stem loco. But due to red tape it's not possible here in NSW. If I can drive my privately owned car on a state owned road, then why can't I pay to drive a state owned steam loco with of course qualified crew members with me on the Loop Line at Thirlmere.
