Adelaides Railway Museum Part 1

by Tim Lubcke

I took my grandson for a visit to the Adelaide Railway Museum, he loves trains. It is situated in Port Adelaide on Lipson Street. It has the largest collection of trains under cover in Australia. It has a section for the Commonwealth Railways and one for the South Australian Railways. The collection is in good condition and it is worth a visit. The cost of entry is very good and it includes a ride on either a miniature Locomotive or Thomas the Tank Engine steam train.
