We’re mixing it up a little this weekend 🚂

To help manage our locomotive while repairs continue, we’ll be operating:
🛻 Trolleys at 10am and 1:30pm
🚂 A limited carriage train at 12pm

This approach allows us to continue providing rides and experiences for our visitors while not overworking the locomotive during this important maintenance period.

A huge thank you to our dedicated crew for their flexibility, and especially to our mechanic who is working tirelessly behind the scenes to return us to full train services.

Some people have kindly suggested we borrow a locomotive. While we truly appreciate your ideas and support, borrowing a locomotive is also very expensive and complex — transport, insurance, compatibility and simply finding a suitable locomotive can be extremely difficult. As challenging as the current repairs are, we would much rather restore and continue operating our own well-known and much-loved locomotives.

If you would like to support the railway, donations are always welcome. Hit the blue button on our web site to get the link www.walhallarail.com.au. Keeping our heritage rail running involves expensive rare parts, specialist skills, and engineering firms — many of which are unfortunately not nearby and are extremely busy, adding to the delays and cost of repairs.

Thank you to everyone for your encouragement, ideas and support — and a special thank you to those who have already donated. You’re absolute super stars ⭐❤️

🚧No Trains today due to locomotive failure
Our locomotives are out of action and need significant and costly work. Our old locomotives need parts that are hard to find and rare specialists to work on them. We are doing all we can to find the funds and to fix the locomotives.

If you would like to make a fully tax-deductible donation, we would sincerely appreciate that at this difficult moment - hit the blue button here https://www.walhallarail.com.au/
Thank you for your understanding and continued support — we look forward to welcoming you back onboard as soon as we can!

🚧🚂 No Trains Wednesday– Locomotive failure 🚂🚧
There will be no train services this Wednesday while our hardworking team assesses the extent of works needed to have either our Fowler or Kasey locomotive back in service. Both locomotives are out of action and need significant and costly work. Our old locomotives need parts that are hard to find and rare specialists to work on them. We are doing all we can to find the funds and to fix the locomotives.
Unfortunately, we have had issues with the trolleys too. Maintaining a mountain railway takes constant care and commitment — and we are proud of the work our team is doing behind the scenes.

What to expect riding in a trolley. This is from 3 years ago. Trolleys are a fun ride.

09/05/2026

Trolleys will be running tomorrow for Mothers day. Bookings have closed due to reduced capacity. Apologies The Kasey has a fault, the Fowler has a fault, the 10 class needs new tyres and the DH rebuild has been delayed. If you have booked train tickets and would prefer to ride another day please email us and we will make arrangments with you.
