Steamtown morning tour

It got quite cold overnight and the wind was absolutely blowing this morning. A big change from 32 degrees yesterday to a top of 18 today. We battled it while packing up then headed back to Steamtown for our morning tour. We were taken out to John who keeps the tours looping around the Roundhouse and rail yard, you just join wherever he is and loop until you've seen it all. Quite a few train buffs in our group, with lots of questions and facts to share. I said Ben was doing some professional learning while on holidays, he laughed but would've preferred to 'be anywhere else' 😅 Pup was a very good boy, rugged up in his flanno. Once we'd finished our loop tour, we popped into the diesel shed to look at more exhibits and information. I felt like the tours were really good value and were the right amount of time, it didn't drag out (apart from when the buffs wouldn't stop talking ha!), and it didn't feel rushed either. Back on the road to Hawker then on to Rawnsley Park Station tonight.Read more
