For those looking for where 6042 is located - look up "Berkley Street, Forbes" and on the western end of the street is what remains of the Lachlan Vintage Village. In the centre of the surrounding water feature of the Village, you'll find the 6042. As to how 6042 got here, here is an exerpt from "westernthunderer" on flickr: _Many moons ago, a heritage village tourist museum/attraction was set up at Forbes in New South Wales. It was called the Lachlan Vintage Village. It lasted for some time before closing and more or less being abandoned. One of the exhibits was this New South Wales Government Railways AD 60 or 60 class Beyer Garratt steam locomotive._ westernthunderer has a LOT more background on 6042, but I figured this would be a start for the curious.....
I recall going to the Lachlan Vintage Village as a kid. Can't say I recall that engine being there. Damn shame to see such a thing not being cared for &, perhaps, restored
It's owned by the Dorrigo mob who are too busy still collecting stuff to have restored a single item in nearly 50 years, so no chance at all. Very sad.

Slow and poetic death of a Golden era in Western history RIP Steam locomotive, station and rail tracks.
Fantastic video. Sad to see this beauty in such a state. Love to see something similar over the rail yard at Dorrigo.
What's the background story on this train, how did it get into that paddock and how far away is the nearest rail line?
Yes, I would like to learn of the train and the town. Are the remaining tracks part of an old railway? Thank you
should get Dave to back his ute up and take her away.
What town is that
Forbes
@@davidmason7765 Thank you
Hope they restore it

@davidmason7765 : Dorrigo is probably the world's biggest steam scrapyard now, and I'm surprised the scrap metal thieves haven't got into the place.

I went to the heritage many years ago i still have somewhere the pictures of it and inside the cab it was in decline then about 1979 ?
