What a cool place. Not just content on restoring old locomotives and rolling stock, this place goes all out: The station looks amazing, the volunteers are all decked out in period appropriate clothing, the carriages are immaculate, the journey is interesting and the workshops are full of treasures. If you want to feel like you've gone back to how people travelled 70 years ago (except for the fact they take EFTPOS payment) then this is the place to experience it. You get to see how a locomotive can be turned around simply by a good balance and two people pushing. There are good toilets, a gift shop and a place to buy refreshments. Will be back again one day to hopefully do a steam excursion to compliment the diesel one we did.

Magical experience! Blast from the past. Sadly a day without the steam engine in action
Amazing experience we had with the staff and the trains on an otherwise meek, rainy day. The staff here are always interested in teaching you about vintage railway along with how life was back in the golden days. Prices at the dairy are so cheap, definitely good for buying icecreams for the kids after going on the train. I really hope that they can eventually have enough money to be able to extend the tracks further through Waiuku as planned!
Good time with family and a train ride was super fun though the time on the train was too short plus I think they should have another stop where people can get off and have some other activities or food and then return. Anyways it was a good time spent.
Great annual event for the kids run by a charity vendor and volunteers. Decent parking on site. Dress for the night and weather. If you go during the day make time to pop up the road 5 mins to also check out the miniature railway club.
Awesome! Splash out on the high tea and enjoy the vintage train from Glenbrook through to Waiuku and back. Great fun, food was awesome and all the staff/volunteers were awesome. We'll be back.
Great old school experience with fantastic weather makes for a great outing a pity the steam loco was being TLC'd but the '52 diesel did great. 4 stars because of the absent steam loco.
An awesome experience live history and engineering in the age of steam power. historical steam trains that are fully operational the Christmas night rides are amazing
