good trip on the old steam train,all the old memribilia at both stations were great.all the volunteers were great and very helpful.the scone maker might need to put some more binding in the scones very crummy and hard to eat.the sound system in our carridge was very low so couldnt hear the ladies commentary which was a bit disappointing.but overall good way to fill in 3 or 4 hours when in gympie
