SYDNEY.- One of the Powerhouse Museum’s most treasured objects, the magnificent 1901 Governor-General’s carriage, is now being publicly exhibited for the first time at Trainworks, Thirlmere, in Sydney’s south west. The Governor-General’s carriage is the second and final stage of the relocation of three historic rail objects from the Museum’s unique railway collection for public display. It joins the Powerhouse’s two operating steam locomotives, 3830 and 3265, at Thirlmere. For the first time, visitors to Trainworks will see the opulent Governor-General’s carriage which features hand-carved cedar panels, silk drapes, gold-plated fittings, etched glass panels and late Victorian furnishings. It will be the centrepiece of Trainworks’ main exhibition building that opened on 4 April 2011, completing a significant upgrade of the site by RailCorp’s Office of Rail Heritage. “
