Junee in southern New South Wales is home to one of few working
Railway Roundhouses in the Southern Hemisphere. When built in 1942, it
boasted the largest turntable at 100 foot, it was later exceeded by
Broadmeadow, Thirlmere and Werris Creek with 105 foot turntables.
Since 1994, the Roundhouse has seen a new lease of life. Half is now used for the museum, whilst the other portion is used for its original purpose of re-conditioning and rebuilding locomotives and rolling stock.
The museum has, amongst other items, steam locomotive 2413 on static display and a CPH Railmotor on exhibition.
