Had an amazing time here this afternoon! It has a wide range of former WAGR locomotives and carriages as well as a miniature model train display. Highly recommend this place!

I had no idea West Australia's railway Heritage was so interesting with so many fantastic engines carriages and historical items to view this museum is a gem! It's such a shame there isn't a railway station right in front of it so it's more easily accessible... I took my father and son it was a massive hit with them both! You can see how passionate the volunteers here are, and they were so welcoming and willing to answer questions. It was mind blowing to see the inner workings, engineering and mechanisms.. how these trains were built and run is just incredible to ponder! I haven't taken so many photos at a public museum EVER!

Great place to take the kids for an afternoon. EFTPOS available for entry and drinks at the entry, but make sure to bring cash if you want to purchase ice-cream and drinks at the model train museum independently run and located at the back of the train museum complex. The kids had a great time checking out the different retired trains, there's so much to look at! Would definitely recommend taking the kids there one Wednesday or Sunday afternoon. Nice relaxing, informative and fun day, thank you

This is a GREAT little gem, I would say as good as if not better than the one in York (UK) . Very rustic and they allow the kids to get into the cabs of most of the engines, well worth the visit.

Fantastic opportunity to see some great history some amazing woodwork and some mind blowing steam locomotives. This is a place that you must see even if you are not interested in trains there is some amazing history and many other things to see and many aspects of the steam era that shows the amazing hand skills of people from previous generations. Much better than people who cash in on pressing a button and letting a robot a half arsed job.These were truly skilful and talented people. So if you can support the museum as they need space and more line to carry out restorations on some truly important amazing western Australian history

The Museum has friendly staff and volunteers with a large collection of heritage trains and cabins, great for children. Some of the restoration such as the dining car is superb. It is well worth the time to chat with those who have performed the restoration and privy to a few stories about the engines. Unfortunate to see our heritage gracefully rusting away.

Visitors from Malaysia here!Not that hard to get here. And you can just park along the roadside.We came on Wednesday, final week of Dec last year. Kids highly unlikely get bored here because there’s A LOT to explore. We can go inside most of the train too. Most importantly, I get to show the kids the real choo choo train here haha.I’m amazed how well maintained this place is. Kudos to the volunteers for their efforts and dedication.
