The Society's income comes from a number of sources and donations are an important source of funds for restoration and maintenance projects. Examples of some of the current projects are listed further down this page.
Over the years, many grants have been provided to Puffing Billy Railway's operator for maintenance and restoration projects, as well as for railway staff to undertake work on Society locomotives and rolling stock. The total of grants since 1978 is over five million dollars. Funds continue to be raised for projects that will maintain and enhance the heritage of the railway.
For more information on any project, email mailto:secretary@pbps.org.au
