Dozens of dedicated volunteers have tirelessly remodelled and repainted train carriages and the station building, ensuring the Zig Zag Railway in Lithgow is ready for its reopening.

After a decade-long hiatus, this iconic tourist attraction will welcome the public again next weekend (27th May).

Lee Wiggins, the Operations Manager and a volunteer for over 25 years, recently drove the fully refurbished AC16 218A locomotive, expressing his excitement to Ray Hadley.

“It’s a real privilege to drive a train that looks so top class,” said Mr Wiggins.
