Well we loved it, what a great day the service was fantastic, the staff were very friendly and engaging. The train ride was excellent, very peaceful and relaxing. We did not order from the cafe, would have been good to know there was food available on the train to purchase, I didn't see this anywhere on the website, maybe I missed it? We had a booking for 4 but my parents car broke down and couldn't make it, I received a credit on the day which I was very happy about, thank you. I would highly recommend; it was such a lovely experience.

Great experience! We appreciated the trip on the beautifully and detailed restored steam train a lot! Those wooden cars with them old red comfy seat benches made all the difference. Hopping in the driver cabin of the locomotive, getting everything explained by the proud experienced driver was amazing! Kudos to the team of volunteers and those thousands of hours they put in to have everything in good service today! Highly recommend!!

We had a great day, my 4yo son loved it and we ticked off another old time train ride. Nice day out, definitely worth the trip. Also, Volunteer Susie in carriage 521 was fantastic, went out of her way to make our day and give my son a wonderful experience! Thanks Susie!

We enjoyed a Sunday run on the Mary Valley Rattler in the VIP Club Car. What a fantastic day and wonderful historical experience. The Club Car was set-up beautifully with comfortable bucket chairs and a table, with a copy of the Gympie paper and a bottle of water each in a souvenir cooler. We were provided a drink of choice and a cheese platter on the journey. Stopped at Amamoor and watched the engine turn around then stopped at Dagun on the way back. Wonderful volunteers, music, games and stalls. On return to Gympie we enjoyed a two course lunch in the Rusty Rails Cafe and another drink of choice. We had a fabulous day and thought the VIP tickets were well worth the experience. So great to see how everyhing has been lovingly restored and a such a special piece of QLD history. Thank you!

The choice to book VIP was a good one. Very happy with the trip which included cheese platter and beverages. Lunch on return. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The whole atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. Amamoor was a lovely stop off with the engine rewind a highlight.
