Transport Asset Holding Entity of New South Wales / Design & Construct Facility for StateRail Heritage Locomotives - 2006/1001

During service on the NSW railways, asbestos was used as an insulating medium on most steam locomotives. On retirement from revenue service, a number of locomotives were placed in the care and custody of the Rail Transport Museum NSW (RTM) for conservation, in most cases with asbestos still existing on or in the locomotive(s).

StateRail proposes to construct a facility at the Thirlmere site, inside which the asbestos removal works will be undertaken. The facility will be retained for use by the NSW Rail Transport Museum upon completion of the asbestos removal works ? potentially as a paint shop.
