What's included

Transport

Travel in comfort as the passenger for your railfanning adventure. Our team are expertly skilled and professionally trained drivers with years of experience chasing trains. We seek to maximising your enjoyment while ensuring safety is always the number one priority. We offer door to door pickup for all our tours and can accommodate three people per tour, so why not bring your mates and see some trains.

Guide Materials

We provide all you need to feel like you're part of the railfanning crew, including maps and timetables. Learn from an expert as they share years of knowledge and tips with you, based on that time that one got away...(just don't ask, it still hurts)

Photographic Hire and Training

Don't have a decent camera but want that epic shot, no worries. As part of your tour we can offer camera equipment for your use throughout the tour. Your guide will be on hand to provide pointers and tips to make sure you make the most of the great locations and we'll send you your catches in the week after. We can also offer editing services to prepare a professional video through our post production partner Rail Town Productions. 

First Hand Knowledge

Our tours are operated in locations where your selected tour guide has chased trains for years, if not decades. They've seen the rain, the hail and the shine and remember the days before that tree decided to grow (we respect and value our natural environment, so chainsaws are not included in your tour, unfortunately). 

Catering and Supplies

Your tour vehicle will come fully equipped with ice cold drinks and a range of snacks to keep you operating at your peak. We also provide a range of supplies including sunscreen, insect repellent and cleaning products for your comfort. We will work closely with you to ensure dedicated meal and comfort stops are provided, including ensuring we show you some of the best places to eat and drink in regional Queensland. After all, chasing trains is thirsty work! (and remember your tour guide is the designated driver). 

Souvenirs and Memories

We offer a range of options with regard to souvenirs, included printed, framed and canvas versions of your best photographs from the day. Why not check out some of our partner, Trains Camera Action's work to see what you could achieve with a few pointers. 

Your 15 minutes of fame

We're always looking for new footage for our Railfan's Guide video series and who knows you might land that shot that we just have to have. Sit down on the couch with your family and watch your name up in lights with the who's who of trainspotting! 

Backed by professionals

Your experts, Events Logistics Strategy

Our Railfan's Guide(d) Tours are backed by the experts at Events Logistics Strategy. With years of experience in event planning, people management and marketing strategy, they are the people we turn to when we need a plan that is going to work. 

A quick note about trains

Just like the weather, we don't control the trains

Think of trains like whales, they're both big and majestic and impossible to find when you want them! Unfortunately we don't have any control over what trains are running, if any, however our experts are able to pivot as required to maximise your enjoyment. A rough itinerary will be agreed, however your guide may offer alternatives as the day goes on, based on actual operations on the day. We kept abreast of trackwork and closures and do not operate tours during these times, unless they are unplanned.
