RE: TOOT - The Kingston Flyer Steam Train - South Island New Zealand
Sad though I'm glad we could ride the Kingston Flyer. The Mary Valley Rattler Steam train near my home had been off the rails for s few years too. Looking promising for it now with some government funding.
Thats good to hear. Despite steam railways being a niche market I think people still find them fascinating machines. If donations and govt money can help keep it going to at least break even, then I personally feel it is worth it. Trouble can be the people with the know how to run these beautiful machines are getting less able to work or are very expensive to hire. Skilled volunteers here can be very hard to come by.
I hope your steam train gets back on track
