MessageIt would be helpful if you could update your site with photos every month. Some of your pictures go back years and you don't seem to add many new photos.

There is nothing about the carriage transfer to Seymour that I can see on your site.

It is disappointing to look at your site every few months and see little if no change.

Tourists from Australia and oversesa need to see that things are moving ahead at your railway for them to keep coming back.

MessageHey guys,

I have been wanting to have a ride on your railway ever since I saw one of the steam locos crossing the bridge over the A300 in Castlemaine two years ago. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get around to it until this weekend. My family and I went to the Maldon Folk Festival so it was a no brainer for me to make the most of the opportunity. A big thanks to everyone who made today such a wonderful experience. I have been building today up in my mind for a while and I'm pleased to say that even after two years of anticipation the experience out did my every expectation. From the moment my wife, brother and I bought our tickets to when we departed Maldon after returning we felt extremely welcome and valued.

A special thanks to the Guard and Ticket Inspector. To the Guard for sharing knowledge of the railway on the 14:30 Castlemaine Train and stopping the train as we made a mad dash to catch the 15:45 Maldon Train. To the Ticket Inspector for unlocking the doors and letting us on. It was much appreciated.

I love steam trains and this was a great way to experience a great era of Australian History. From the bottom of my heart thank you all for a magnificent experience. Please keep it up, I will be recommending it to others. I look forward to my next visit, the steam train driver experience is quite tempting. I might have to save for a while though.

Cheers,


Brenton.

MessageWhen in castlemain i did not see any signs pointing to where the train was located .when in Maldon no signs about the gold fields train ,with the music festival nearly on us get the festival people to take a ride on the train .a gold nugget would make a very good raffle ,the gold gem & treasure magazine would be very interested .now how to get a prospector to donate a nugget ,say one ounce ,hopefully they they found a few and would not mind parting with one .

MessageHi guys....I recently "rode the footplate" on one of your fabulous Steam engines. Whilst the trip was absolutely fantastic, it was made even more than that by the Crew, Don, Adrian ( who literally explained everything ) and unfortunately I cannot remember the other fellas name. Everyone was so friendly including the guy on the Maldon Platform selling coffee. These folk make your organization and I'm sure there are others behind the scenes who are just as dedicated. Keep up the good work and I'll be there next time I visit Castlemaine.

Regards and thanks

Grahame
