Steam trains at the Powerhouse May-06

We've discovered a fantastic place - Sydney's Powerhouse Museum is a place that can keep Jeyanth happy for 4-5 hours. Given the train ride to get there, that's a pretty awesome way to spend a rainy day.

We've now had two visits to the Powerhouse in the last 3 months, and it must be said that Jeyanth likes almost all of it - except perhaps the Kylie Minogue design collection (as essential part of any science & technology museum?). However, there is one aspect of the museum with which it was love at first sight - the powerhouse has an amazing collection of steam engines - and they work! The locomotive is obviously the best bit, but the adoration of all sorts of steam machinery makes us wonder!

It is a happy place

Hey, I can see inside the engine Look! Look! Its a reall steam train
 
Wowww, they even let me get in and drive it Did I tell you I liked steam trains?
 
There's loads of buttons and things to play with at the Powerhouse but deep down, I like the steam section best of all
 
Its hard to say goodbye
