This annual event recognises the history of steam in the coal mining and railway industries.
The Richmond Vale Railway Museum is located in the old Richmond Main Colliery site, Main Road 135, Leggett's Drive, Richmond Vale 4kms south of Kurri Kurri in the Hunter Valley, N.S.W.
Marjorie, a 0-4-0 saddle tank steam engine, will be running along the Mulbring Road branch line with a demonstration consisting of restored non-air coal wagons that were used widely on the Richmond Vale Railway and will also run passenger trains to Pelaw Main along the restored passenger line.
There will be a display of miniature steam engines of various sizes including ride-ons, many of which will be in steam.
The mining museum will be open with its extensive collection of mining equipment, the majority of which are artefacts from the local area. The entry building will house a photographic display and miniature steam machinery and live steam engines will also be found there. Guided tours around the former Richmond Main Colliery may be available on the day.
