Whilst in Adelaide I made my way to the National Railway Museum at Port Adelaide to take in some Australian railway history. The museum has an excellent display of Narrow, Broad and Standard gauge loco's and rolling stock. Unfortunately I was not able to record the Standard gauge Commonwealth railway's exhibit as the museum closed! However, you can still see the majority of the museum's displays in this video.
You will see the wagons from the tea & sugar train, which was a vital supply train for remote communities in Central Australia long before the standard gauge railway was completed. You will see heritage steam & diesel locomotive's which used to operate on the South Australian network, hauling some of it's most famous trains, like the Ghan & Overland.
The museum also has an excellent model train layout, which you can see in the video.
There is also a miniature train track which runs around the perimeter of the museum, and you will see some footage from the ride in this video.
Lastly there is a range of locomotive's and rolling stock on static display outside the main shed. Unfortunately the museum closed before I could record all of the outside displays, but you can still see some steam loco's and diesel railcar's which are on display.
I've tried to include some of the information board's in this video, so you can pause and read if you would like.
The museum is an excellent display of Australia's railway history and is well worth a visit. I hope you enjoy the video :)
This was basically my childhood paridise thx for reviving some of my memories
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed the video ☺
Great Video I Go To The National Railway Museum At Port Adelaide All The Time
It was really good. I ran out of time though, I really wanted to see the GM class they have there and have a better look at the train's outside. But I really liked it there. Thanks for watching :)
Wow. Alex you really get around.
I did get around on my holiday, it was great fun! Thanks for watching :)
Awesome i went to a steam festival in Thrilmere 2 weeks ago it had old locos from the 18s and 19s
I went there a long time ago when I was little, but I loved it. I would love to go again. They have so many great trains and to see them all at the festival of steam would be so cool! 🚂🚃🚃🚃
Yea soon im gonna go to the Hunter Valley steam festival. More like a steam train race
Both South Australian Railways 2-8-2 "Mikado" #702 and 4-8-4 "Northern" #504 has to be based of the North American locomotives from the look of it.
They certainly do look like American style steam loco's. I remember reading at the museum that in the early 20th century an ex-american railroad commissioner/controller became the head of S.A.R and he influenced the design of new locomotive's and rolling stock, such as the webb caboose you can see in the video. Thanks for watching :)
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
