This big green beast was running and warming up in the sunshine. I've seen this Steam Wagon running, years ago at show. Magnificent thing. #WeirdCarMastodon #Australia #AustralianHistory #Carshow #Steam #SteamPower

This shed also housed some trains! There's tracks around the site and a train runs around it. #rail #WeirdCarMastodon #Australia #AustralianHistory #Carshow #Steam #SteamPower
