Well if you're going to "play trains", I can't think of a better way than to play with REAL trains!

SAR NG15 123 on saturday - some of the guys returning after a run around the bushland loop
The other Steam engine during steam tests (it literally only got its boiler certificate saturday)
The Fowler "Rosalie" (who wouldn't start on sunday... flat as a tack battery - needed a jump start, yes - you can jump start a train)
The Gemco "Windy Wyndam" (who ran on sunday... but didn't actually run the NG was doing all the work)
As you can see... we puts faces on the trains

Re: For Everyone who loves thomas the tank engine
Last time I went to Whiteman park I had a walk around that station (where the museum is). I then went looking for the mussell pool and never found it despite following the signs. I must have been missing something.
