Standard Gauge Appeal
Our Appeal was officially launched on Sunday 15 May 2011 by Hon. Donna Faragher, MLC, Member for East Metropolitan Region.
Help the Railway Museum to bring GM1 to Western Australia, to build a fitting display, and ultimately to return GM1 to operation for special occasions.
- All donations gratefully received
- Deductable for income tax purposes
- Opportunities for special donations to be recorded on the project
Rail Heritage WA has won custody of the historic GM1 locomotive - the first main-line diesel loco, built in Australia and to run in Western Australia.
But this is only the first step - and each step needs your help, in money or in kind:
- Repair GM1 so it can be towed from Adelaide
- Bring GM1 to Bassendean
- Build standard gauge into the Railway Museum
- Build a worthy display facility
- Return GM1 to operating condition
All these steps need your help. If you can assist our Appeal, you will assist
to sustain WA's heritage. There are two ways to donate via mobile.
- Donate any amount via PayPal
- Or donate $200 for a sleeper with a plaque
