The NSW Rail Museum is Australia's largest and oldest railway museum with over 125 railway exhibits.
 It is the home to many steam and diesel locomotives, the most popular of which is the famous 3801.
Steam train rides are available on Sundays during the winter months, to avoid the risk of bushfire in this rural area.

Each year on the first Sunday in March, the town's population grows to over 15,000 as tourists flock to the "Thirlmere Festival of Steam" - NSW's premier annual steam event featuring the state's biggest gathering of main-line steam locos and all the fun of the fair and markets.

The museum also operates excursion trains from Sydney to Thirlmere hauled by steam and/or diesel locomotives.
