During our holiday around Tassie, we were lucky enough to fit in a trip to the Don River Railway Museum in Devonport.. There were a number of museums around but Don River interested me as they have the largest collection of both steam and diesel locomotives in Tasmania. They also store the largest collection of rolling stock that was used on Tasmanian railway. I had hoped to see the ALCO 866 while there- unfortunately it was sort of hidden away but still great to get a glimpse of it!
