On Sunday, train enthusiasts young and old will be in their element during this day out in the country, with the hustle and bustle of a real railway station, the locomotives are scaled down versions of actual coal burning steam engines. While you wait to board your train in front of the original signal cabin from Yarongmulu you’ll see the train drivers busily stoking the coal, topping up the water, releasing the steam and blowing their whistles, ready to go on the green traffic light.
Enclosed shoes required. Food and refreshments available onsite or bring your own picnic.
