A must-see event of the weekend will be the ARTC Great Train Race quad run which will feature four historic steam locomotives running parallel together whilst racing a classic Tiger Moth airplane.

Attendees can also explore an impressive collection of antique machinery and steam trains from across Australia, plus live music, kids' activities, market stalls and more.
