Valley Heights Rail Museum

"March into March". We continue our 2024 public program: both our steamers passed their annual inspections with flying colours & have been in revenue service for some weeks. We're running an extra #event on Sunday 31 March: the #Easter Bunny will arrive with plenty of surprises!

@JoanneMCrompton Happy birthday from Australia.

@Nictrain123 Only needs one...'North Star' - replica at @steam_museum en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swindon_S…

In #January our #steam motive power has annual boiler inspections so the blue/white beast better known as #diesel tractor X206 returns to revenue service, hauling an 1890 built #passenger car as the 'Valley Heights Mixed'. 20 minute #ride included in admission. Book now!

It's that time of year again & the #Museum had visits from #Santa & his Elf on cue. Hundreds of excited children were entertained as the 'man in the red suit' arrived by #Steam #Tram & chatted with his guests. Plenty of 'free' photo opportunities for all!

That’s a fine stylish atmospheric image.

In a #surprise accolade, the #Sydney Morning Herald @smh recently published a list "49 wonders of the #modern #world"...we made it. Are we excited? Yes! Check it out at: smh.com.au/traveller/insp…

That's a great way to end any day...with optimism for the next...😎

Yes. If residents or visitors look skywards they will see a large misshapen red oval with some straight lines crossing it diagonally. Should they be scared? Probably...😎

Here's one in Australia. Hope you enjoy this!

@trashyhonky Hi there. Next Museum public Open Day is Sunday 8 October. Hope to see you then.

Here's 4001 at the #centenary celebration at Valley Heights Rail #Museum in 2014. It hauled a special #train from #Sydney Central for the ceremony attended by the #State #Governor, Marie Bashir and #Premier, Barry O'Farrell.

End the holidays with a rare adventure. · Take a 20 minute ride in a lovingly restored vintage tramcar behind the world’s only regularly working historic Sydney Steam Tram from the 1890s

Looks like a brilliant restoration. Well done.

Nice work! Does that equal 1 x 18F?...😎
