- Abstract
The preservation of engineering heritage equipment and facilities in an operational condition, requires the preservation of the knowledge that built it and maintained it too. There are many examples of operational preserved railways within Australia, which face the difficulty of preserving this equipment in the long term. Many problems associated with the maintenance of the operation of heritage railways and railway vehicles and locomotives are examined, along with heritage policies, recording and training for the future. Modification of equipment to current requirements, influences of commercial pressures and training for the future are referred to.
