Such an amazing place. For only $10 entry we got a private tour for over an hour. I would have paid more if I had known that. So much history there with steam trains, carriages and locomotives over 100 years old. Let alone the round house with is also over 100 years old. Not a place for kids but worth a trip from Sydney to spend a couple of hours there.

Old Style railway museum. Old trains and tools for repairing them. A living museum as steam locomotives are still overhauled here.

The highlight was being able to climb inside and under many of the locos and carriages. My tip: wear study rubber soled shoes! These will help you to navigate the ladders and steps as you explore the old trains.

Only down side is the centre is a bit thin on interruptive content. This left me often wondering what I was looking at and why it might be of historical importance.

Remember cash only!
Also great toilets!

Great piece of railway history. The tours are guided and the guides know the history as they are former workers. The restoration projects are impressive. Well worth stopping in if your in the area. 3 to 4 hours should be long enough.

I wasn’t really sure what to expect but it turned out to be really wonderful. One of the best pit stops when driving to Canberra. Take the tour and hear all the details. They let you right up into the trains and under some of them to see how they work.

Loved it especially the mail sorting carriage. Never seen one before. The museum is a credit to everyone who works there.

Is it your first visit? Get the free guided tour, with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteer. So many trains, carriages and historical artifacts to see. Unlike many other museums, you can get up close to so many exhibitions.
