Over the years the Tasmanian Transport Museum has built up an extensive array of exhibits for its Glenorchy museum. The main details of the railway exhibits are given in the table below. Further information can be obtained by using the link in the Class/Number column. In addition to the exhibits on this list are a number of diesel buses, trolley buses, a variety of other road vehicles and many larger and smaller items.
More detailed histories of the locomotives and railcars are available in the book Locomotives of the Tasmanian Transport Museum. After some years out of print, a new edition was publiched in late 2007 and is now available. Click here for book and ordering details
