Recently we announced our all access carriage.

This railway carriage dates back to 1924 and required extensive renovation and upgrading to make it rail-worthy for the Mary Valley Rattler steam train.

Expert Gympie crafts-people brought the carriage back to life with its most comprehensive restoration since its original construction in the Ipswich workshops 96 years ago.

Internal and external panelling has been replaced, while windows, frames, doors and floors have been repaired, sanded, painted and varnished. The sympathetic restoration has been designed to preserve the changes throughout its history, while adding new access ramps to ensure an even wider cross section of people can experience the historic steam train’s journey through the Mary Valley.

While built originally to house up to 90 passengers on cross bench seats in nine compartments, the new configuration is a far more spacious 56 seats, with four dedicated and fully-equipped wheelchairs spaces. The restoration was undertaken in the Old Gympie Workshops by a local carpenter, with the assistance from a wide range of volunteers.

The introduction of the new all-access carriage has attracted local sponsorship from the @gympiemotorgroup, a long-term supporter of the Mary Valley Rattler and the Gympie community.
