Australia - Evandale Light Railway and Steam Society Inc.
LAUNCESTON TAS. - The Evandale Light Railway and Steam Society Inc. began evolution in the 1980's driven by the late Greg Waddle.
His dream was to bring together a group of railway, and steam, enthusiasts and build a track, on his property at Evandale , such that they could enjoy their hobby and serve the community.
The Club was officially formed in 1989 and some of the founding members are still part of the club today.
The Society has become part of the fabric of the Evandale Community however times have changed and the Society has relocated from the Waddle property to
Morven Park, still in Evandale, still part of the community and still with the same spirit and aims.

Delaware - Auburn Valley Railroad at The Marshall Steam Museum
Hockessin, DE - The Marshall Steam Museum
Less than five minutes from the center of Hockessin, Delaware the Marshall Steam Museum at Auburn Heights Preserve offers visitors a chance to step back in time and experience life at the dawn of the automotive age. The now-museum was built by T. Clarence Marshall in 1947 to house his growing collection of antique automobiles. Today, visitors can enjoy the many treasures at Auburn Heights thanks to the generosity and vision of Clarence’s son, Tom, and his wife, Ruth. In 2008, they gifted to Delaware State Parks the estate land and buildings, including a beautiful 1897 Queen Anne mansion that was the Marshall home, while donating to the Friends of Auburn Heights Preserve, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, the extraordinary vehicles of the Marshall collection. The museum features the world’s largest operating collection of Stanley steam cars, a 1916 electric car, and two 1930s Packards, in addition to the Auburn Valley Railroad with its 1/8th-size coal-fired steam trains that circle the property.
