DownsSteam Tourist Railway & Museum

DownsSteam is a community based solely volunteer run organisation dedicated to the establishment of a tourist railway for the Darling Downs region. DownsSteam was formed to enable the preservation and active restoration of the last remaining steam locomotive built at the historic Toowoomba Foundry Company, C16-106 Southern Cross Works No. 28 circa 1914. DownsSteam plans to run regular passenger services that would become part of an integrated tourism transport trail across the Darling Downs. Fine food excursions to Warwick and Stanthorpe will give our guests the opportunity to sample the best our region has to offer. Shorter trips to Nobby and Pittsworth will celebrate our regions rich heritage. Since formation in 2001, DownsSteam has established an active railway precinct on the former Drayton sidings & acquiried a large rolling stock fleet.

We really enjoyed our visit. Sheila, our volunteer guide, met us when we arrived and gave us a very comprehensive tour. We were impressed by the sheer scale of the restoration work that is being done and the standard that is being achieved. I was not prepared for the incredible paintings that covered the walls and ceiling of the Dreamtime carriage - it took my breath away. Well worth a visit - especially if you have any interest in vintage trains.

Such a treasure to the city of Toowoomba to enjoy the architecture of this wonderful building. The church opens its doors and celebrates with the community and on this occasion remembering the significance of November 11 at 11am with a tribute of poppies throughout the church. The commitment of the church volunteers is always tinged with duty and friendship. What a blessing to enjoy.
