Meet the Team - Phill! Without our Maintenance Man

Meet the Team - Phill!
Without our Maintenance Manager Phill, day to day operations would not be possible, and our lovely fleet of locomotives would be at a stand-still!
“Working at the Mary Valley Rattler has allowed me to settle into this wonderful area and make it home. I’m proud to be part of a team whom give so much of their own time every week to keeping this region’s history alive. Without that tireless dedication and passion, it would all be lost forever.”
So next time you’re on board the Mary Valley Rattler, give a wave to Phill!

The Mary Valley Rattler is hitting the road!
We’d like to extend our thanks to Duncan Cooper, the owner of Gympie Motor Group! Duncan has provided a Kia Seltos to the Mary Valley Rattler team to help them get out and about, to convey the good news about the region’s status as a prime tourist destination.

Keep an eye out for the Rattler Roadster – coming to your town soon! For more information, head to our website.

Some fantastic shots shared by Darrell Llewellyn McCulloch!

Down in the workshop, John Flynn machined the brass parts for 967’s motion oil pots. Darrell then set to task brazing & then polishing them. Days of hard work paying off!

This is one example of the many finer details that go into building and maintaining such a beautiful locomotive! Thanks for your hard work, Darrell.
