It was restored to operation in 1988 and can be seen in steam at the Archer Park Station Museum in Rockhampton, where it runs over former Queensland Railways trackage in Denison St.Here is a link to an interesting YouTube video showing the Purrey steam railcar in operation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xImxm80fxc |
