Queensland Rollingstock Preservation Group
Respecting our rail heritage.
Our group aims to provide the means to ensure the best possible outcomes for the rail heritage of Queensland, with assistance from the general community.
We manage preserved assets under the full control of the Group, and assist owners with the management of their own private assets. The Group was formed by private rollingstock and memorabilia owners, together with volunteers who have long been part of the preservation movement.

We are looking for volunteers, community groups, businesses and private owners who are interested in helping us preserve our rail heritage. Whether you are an asset owner, a volunteer or a financial benefactor, we would like to hear from you.
There is always a project under way, so even an hour or two a month helps.
