So much history! You feel it when you walk past the ancient engines and railcars.Wonderful friendly staff.I'd like to give it five stars but it's still pretty basic. If only it had a cafe? Then again, it's run by enthusiastic volunteers so it can't be perfect.

Fantastic railcars restoring old engines and carriage, so much history here and donation only! Tag onto a free tour and listen to history on the railroads...

Went more for my husband and he was impressed, learnt about a few trains. He used to work on the railways, so he was happy to go through here. Good if you are a railway buff.

Might give a first impression of being old and run down but we'll worth the visit. Run by small group of volunteers who are all very friendly and helpful. Lots of very old railway items in various stages of restoration.

Train ride was enjoyable. We went on a trip and destination was Tarana . The organisation left a lot to be desired. No communication about times for dinner from “Luke” who seemed more involved with his own party then letting the tour people know. Our party of 4 plus others eventually walked across to the venue to find out what was going on . Only to be told there were to be 2 sittings of 25 and we’d have to wait till 6.30pm. We didn’t mind the wait but it was the fact that no one knew any of dinner arrangements including the actual dining establishment.We talked to others that went onto Rydal and Wallerawang and they had a total different experience. Their organisers kept them in the loop about everything.

Starting at the old fashioned, well maintained Cowra railway station. The Devonshire Tea was delicious, and provided in a luxurious restored dining car complete with plush upholstery and glossy wood panelling.Came for the Tea and stayed for the train ride in old school passenger cars. We rode in the box cabin section you might recall from old movies.Complete with a volunteer host who explained what we will see and how long the ride will be.(~30 min.) Then another volunteer conductor asking tickets please" thence clipping our small rectangular cardboard souvenir tickets.Great outing and well worth the price. It seemed everyone had a great time.The whole affair is volunteer run

Awesome railway museum with a large fleet of rolling stock to explore. The staff love their work and are happy to share their knowledge with you. Railcars, passenger carriages, steam and diesel locomotives are all on display.

Great place to visit. Amazing history. Wish we had more time. Our smaller children loved the walk through carriages as did we. We loved it.

The volunteers do an amazing job. Good for a chat, plenty of knowledge.
