点评:Australia has many railway museums and this is one of the best. Located a short walk from the Ashfied Station on the Midland Line - don't go to Bassenden Station even though the centres address is Bassenden - the centre is staffed by volunteers and a Sunday afternoon is a good time to visit, especially when rail travel is free on Sundays for card holders.
There are many examples of steam and diesel locos at the museum, and lots of carriages from different eras of rail travel you can walk through. Volunteers are knowledgeable, and happy to chat to visitors. There is also a model railway display for younger children and those young at heart. Many of the larger exhibits are under cover, so heat or rain shouldn't be a reason not to visit, especially if arriving by car.
One drawback is a lack of refreshments on site. Surely an excellent opportunity for a food cart to link up with the museum.
翻译:澳大利亚有许多铁路博物馆,这是其中最好的一个。距离米德兰线的阿什菲尔德站仅几步之遥 - 不要去巴森登站,尽管中心的地址是巴森登 - 中心由志愿者组成,周日下午是参观的好时机,尤其是周日持卡人可以免费乘坐火车。
博物馆里有许多蒸汽机车和柴油机车的例子,还有许多不同时代的火车车厢供您参观。志愿者知识渊博,很乐意与游客聊天。还有一个模型铁路展览,适合年幼的孩子和那些童心未泯的人。许多大型展品都有遮盖,所以炎热或下雨不应该成为不去参观的理由,特别是如果开车前来的话。
一个缺点是现场没有茶点。这无疑是一个将食品车与博物馆联系起来的绝佳机会。
