SteamFest is on so there's lots to see

as we steam our way through the grounds,

the train is full -

all three carriages of it -

but it's full every monthly weekend we are running!

We need a bit more steam here

as we start to go round a curve

and out into an open stretch.

Visitors watch us go by,

they've just come from the threshing demo -

make sure you go back later and check it out.

A log comes in handy for seating.

On we go, where to next?

We'll find out in a moment, I think

The photographer is there where the track branches

and look, the train is approaching the gates,

he's ready with his camera

filming as the train comes towards him.

This is better than a train ride in a city!

We've beautiful Mt Roland behind us

and beautiful scenery all around us

the passengers can enjoy it as they go past.

More houses can be seen behind us, on the left

This is a lovely rural community

But look, we're approaching something!

What is that thing next to the line?

That white metal thing on the ground?

What does it do, I wonder?

The train is passing it now,

and hey. I think we just moved onto another line
