Located on in industrial precinct near the Mackay Harbour, the railway has a short length of track and potential access to QR trackage when their BB18 1/4 restoration project is completed. Access is by arrangement only.
    The collection includes a number of ex-QR freight wagons as well as two ex-cane railway diesel locomotives (2' gauge).
    The BB18 1/4 is being rebuilt as an oil burner with all the modern safety requirements, but the oil tank is removable so that the locomotive could be returned to coal service if desired. Photos: 1 - 2 - 3
