One of the reasons that images of H220 working are rare because it was usually operating at night on the fast
goods train to and from Wodonga. Here H220 powers through the night on that train.

Above:
Former NSWGR 2-6-4T Z20 Class tank locomotive 2029 within the main shed at the NSW Rail Transport Museum, Thirlmere, 19 August 1999. The 12-year cosmetic restoration of 2029 (sole survivor of the Z20 Class into preservation) was at this stage almost complete, with a special ‘handing over’ ceremony held at Thirlmere Station (temporarily renamed for the Camden Line halt of Elderslie, which of course the Z20 were strongly associated with) on 7 November later that year. The cosmetic restoration was based on the appearance of the class circa 1930–60, and today the engine is presented in immaculate condition on a replica Camden Line train/station display at the museum at Thirlmere.
