Overall, nearly 100 visitors turned up, many of whom were first timers. Several mentioned their inability to join us on weekends, so there is obviously potential for mid-week openings and we are keen to 'keep the pot boiling' with repeat performances. To assist families with sourcing events at other venues that are part of this new partnership, the SFA calendar was displayed at three locations around the Museum for the two weeks of the holidays. Father’s Day on 2 September saw over 200 visitors enjoy the fine weather, with many taking up our offer to bring Dad for free!

There was a good turnout by various historical societies and a group from ‘Friends of Rookwood Cemetery’ boosted numbers on Sunday. The Coffin Cart, on loan with kind approval of THNSW Heritage & Collections Manager, Jennifer Edmonds, had been collected by truck from Thirlmere the previous week, under the watchful eye of Collections Officer, Chris (Christian) Fielder. It will remain at the Museum until after our Rookwood General Manager, Mark Bundy, addresses Halloween event at the end of October and will visitors in ‘U-boat’ ETB6039 be returned by STARPS director, Wayne Flicker, and myself. Unfortunately the Tram Hearse, on very short term loan from MAAS (Powerhouse) Discovery Centre at Castle Hill, had to be returned, despite a concerted effort to keep it for longer. The 80 year reunion of this unique exhibit with Steam Tram 101A & trailer 93B was a milestone in Sydney’s Transport history and was well photographed and filmed over the weekend!

It is pleasing that we are continuing to attract new visitors and the word will spread accordingly. We had three new 5-star reviews on Google Business and I have responded to them individually. Notes of appreciation have been also sent to the 32 different volunteers (and invited contributors) who made the weekend memorable and without whose effort these activities are impossible! My presentations, titled ‘Life begins – on the right track!’ involved some months of research into babies that were born on or around trains. This investigation led me to attempt to contact relatives or descendants of those mentioned in the many newspaper articles on this topic. Although largely a fruitless task, at the eleventh hour, I was contacted by a daughter of one of my targets. Eileen Hanlon of Bundaberg, who was reportedly born on a train in 1923 and also involved in an amazing and heroic rescue, aged 17.

    Volume – 25 Number – 3 September to November 2018 Edition Steam locomotive 3801 (4-6-2) was operated by the New South Wales Government Railways between 1943 and 1976. It is arguably Australia’s most famous steam locomotive, being the only one to have visited all main line states and territories. The 38 Class numbered 30. The first 5 units, with the streamlined design, were built by Clyde Engineering, Granville, New South Wales. The other 25 units were built, semi-streamlined, at the New South Wales Eveleigh (even numbers) and Cardiff (odd numbers) Locomotive Workshops. 3801 entered service on 22 January 1943 and worked the “Newcastle Flyer” for the first time on 23 February 1943 to express passengers to and from Sydney. 2018 celebrates the 75th anniversary of this iconic steam locomotive.
