itty-bitty steam engine fun

How much fun is this?


The Western Province Live Steam Association is a group of steam-lovers who construct and run miniature steam-locomotives on their club premises at the Parow Civic Centre.
The 800m track has a bridge, 4 platforms, signal stops, cuttings, even a turn-table, all constructed and maintained by the club members.

Last Saturday the girls attended a Steam Meet with their Dad, Uncle and Grandad and had the best time.

To raise funds for maintenance of the grounds and to share their love for old steam-engines, the club opens to the public on the first Saturday of every month from 1pm - 4pm. Boerewors rolls and basic refreshments are on sale and tickets to ride are extremely reasonably priced.

I can't think of a more fun outing for bigs and smalls alike!

Toot toot!


Thanks to my brother-in-law for the pics!
