The Museum covers several acres of a railway reserve and it is a heritage listed site. The north and western yards exhibit many machines that we hope to have undercover in future years before nature can deliver too much damage. 2022 saw new sheds built in the northern yard.

Some of the yard content includes road and agricultural machinery dating back to the 1930s, tools, vintage vehicles (including the rare FWD Truck from the 1920’s in the west yard), railway worker accommodation and ablutions from last century, railway hardware along with heritage listed carriages, etc. from last century, a 1920 model Crossley 100HP single cylinder stationary engine, many scarifiers & other farm machinery.

Many other displays are held within these large open spaces including a 1920’s working “Blacksmiths Shop” relocated from a farm site and currently under construction.

Rolling stock in the process of being restored.
