Cutest little rail motor ever! It looks like a normal size train consisting of a locomotive and two coaches approaching you when seen from a certain angle ( such as 3:59 ) but then it gets closer and reveals itself to be just this compact squeezed little unit. Absolutely adorable.
A very, very nice train! I have never seen such a lovely little locomotive! Many thanks for this wonderful video! Many greetings from germany! Dampf-Hannes
Wow. Though I knew all lot about steam railways in the world, but am totally unaware of this one. Well done you Aussies out there. Totally unique and very special.
Amazing ! To think that such a cute little engine still runs so gallantly. Every puff of steam is an exuberant expression of sheer joy. Thanks for making the video and posting it !
An adorable little train, toddling through countryside very like here in Arizona. And an adorable little whistle to go along with her. That stack talk tells us that she is working hard to earn her keep, as well.
Hi Judy, thanks for sharing an excellent video. I have never traveled on this train and it is very interesting seeing it in action. Wishing you the very best. Rob in Melbourne Australia.
In October 2019 I happened to meet a gentleman who worked the Pichi Pichi, he was in Southern California to ride Union Pacific’s Big Boy 4014 excursion from West Colton yard to Barstow. It is truly a small world!
What wonderful little machine. Great Britain had a number of designs in the same fashion. The Great Western Society at at Didcot in England have built a replica of one such. However this has the engine inside the vehicle, with a vertical boiler. Beautiful filming, a very testful watch. Thank you for sharing 😀😀😀😀😀🇬🇧
Very petite, and I would bet economical steam engine as well. Great to see it still in working order. A testament to the preservationists and the love they show in restoring and running these incredible machines.
I thought this was in the Serra foothills of California until I saw the cars on the left. Neat little outfit you have there. And that whistle is great!
What an adorable little motor. I would love to learn more about it. It doesn't look as though it could hold water and fuel for more than a few thousand metres distance.
That was great Judy, thanks for the video presentation. We are up at Qld, but if we get to SA, that would be fun. I sent your video to a railway fan in The States
Very unique railway good to see it running still with folks interested in travelling too. We too in India have toy trains that travel to Hill stations like Shimla Darjeeling and Coonoor.
The Pichi Richi operation out of the Quorn is a Heritage railway that runs this and other trains. The larger gauge track used to be a part of the original track used by the Ghan when it, too, was a steam train
The "Coffee Pot" only runs dining trains from Quorn to Woolshed Flat and has be booked months or a year in advance. It's not coupled to the coach as the coach and loco are permanently joined. It never pulls any other stock behind the coach so it has very limited seating.
I spent my career building 200 ft high power plants using boilers for steam. But my ancestors built these little locomotives! We owe a lot to the designers and Builders of locomotives!!
Brillianr that this is still running. Dont think i managed to run on it when i was there way back when. Incidentally ther is a Quorn in UK on the Great Central Railway. You should twin.
I travelled on the Pichi Richi Railway in 1981, behind a green locomotive. Great fun. Remember Quorn Station and Woolshed Flat. Last month (Sept 2024) I travelled on The Ghan from Darwin to Adelaide. More great fun.
The Otavi Railway in Africa in the 1890 -1910 period had a unit very similar to the Coffee Pot. The Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette had an article about the Otavi. Railway. It was in the 80s
Back in the 1970s, here in the UK, British Rail spent some years and quite a large sum of money supposedly developing the 'Advanvced Passenger Train' but the project was finally abandoned with numerous issues remaining unresolved. One comedy programme on the radio did a supposed 'take-off' of the then chairman of BR. "I think I have found a new train! You put the coal in there and the water goes in there but at least in works"! Long may this chuffer keep chuffing!
The only real problem with the APT was that it was rushed into public trials before the initial teething issues were resolved. As a result, it was vilified by the press, public perception never recovered, and politicians killed the project even though the technical problems were all solved by then. Watch the excellent youtube documentary by Ruairidh MacVeigh for more info.
What a lovely little locomotive … it looks like a standard gauge but with a narrow gauge boiler. Delightful and reminiscent of the Welsh narrow gauge railways ❤❤
Thank you for a very enjoyable video.
I wish commuter trains in my city were like this 😍. Every trip to the office would be pure joy.
Cute little steam beast with its small coach load. Would like to ride this, and own this!!
The best footage one's eyes ever get to see I am sure a lot of effort and patience have been put to shoot this 8 minute masterpiece ❤ from India 🇮🇳
Thank you for this lovely video of a cute little steam locomotive. Reminds me of the Ffestiniog Railway on their 'Quirks & Curiosities' days.
Fabulous video of a truly unique railway! Thanks for preparing and posting this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a sweet little train and engine! I definitely would travel to see and ride on it! Thank you.

A fantastic and interesting video thank you very much for making it.
That is so neat and that whistle sounds like a tea pot
A very, very nice train! I have never seen such a lovely little locomotive! Many thanks for this wonderful video! Many greetings from germany! Dampf-Hannes
Technically it’s a rail motor (the locomotive is part of the car).
@@allangibson8494 Yes I know. In Germany we call it Dampftriebwagen.
@@dampf-hannes3528 In Brazil they are called Litorina but I have never seen a steam engine like this, only diesel ones
Thank you very much!
Well done Judy, I was in Quorn about three weeks ago, really sorry I missed this cute little fella
Awesome landscape the train drives through...
Thanks for watching

I am very pleased to see the video. Greetings from Pakistan
Thanks for the ride. Really enjoyed it. Former brakeman and conductor here.
Excellent video and historic steam train. Good work. Greetings from Poland.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Judy! Loved it.
So glad!
An adorable little train, toddling through countryside very like here in Arizona. And an adorable little whistle to go along with her. That stack talk tells us that she is working hard to earn her keep, as well.
Amazing video 🤩👌🏼 Just subscribed
Lovely. A great (or small) way to travel across Australia.
Very good. I'll put it on my Bucket List
That's one cute little rascal. Thanks for the content. God Bless.
Fine ! And finally, an early form of steam railcar ! Greetings from Belgium (Brussels).
Hi Judy, thanks for sharing an excellent video. I have never traveled on this train and it is very interesting seeing it in action. Wishing you the very best. Rob in Melbourne Australia.
That was one Cute little steaming Hot Coffee Pot. And picturesque locations...
So cute even the whistle reminds a sweet kitten.
Thanks for this video. This is one very unique shortline loco-carriage.

What a great little train.
I love the little coffee pot. So neat.
In October 2019 I happened to meet a gentleman who worked the Pichi Pichi, he was in Southern California to ride Union Pacific’s Big Boy 4014 excursion from West Colton yard to Barstow. It is truly a small world!
A beautiful and comforting trip to the past. Congratulations.
Thank you. Very surprising. Enjoyable.
Amazing how this little thing survived. remember seeing a BW photo in a 'Pix' magazine in the 1960s! :-)
What an absolutely delightful video.!
Everything about it is deserving of world acclaim....!
I live in Eugene Oregon, but fondly remember my years in Adelaide and South Australia 63 years ago. I would have loved this excursion.
I love this tiny train, wish I could ride this.
Ces tout simplement magnifique cette petite locomotive a vapeur .
Sweety rail Train ❤❤ greeting from Germany Colonia a Fan.
Very nice view captured by you.thank you for posting this video.❤❤❤
Cute little engine with a cute little whistle.
Wow, it’s cool. It’s like a painting. The video is great.
Really enjoyed watching that - thank you!
Wonderful presentation, thank you. Now I have to try and model a version of it for my G scale railroad.

What a cutie !
Cheers From California 😎
At 7:00 going uphill in the "Afrikaans" language we call it the "Sakka pakka" train. Thanks Judy, a magnificent video!!
Wow, amazing and beautiful capture ❤️🎉
Fabulous Pichi Richi Railway. Fond memories!!
A unique little railway in an interesting place. Nice job.
Super like friend!
Big hug from Brazil
The inspiration for my 7 1/4" gauge steam railcar!
That Beautiful Railway station at the end, also seems to have been well preserved.
Una maravilla...gracias por compartir.
Trop sympa.. un train de poche !!!🙂🙂
I was thinking more "teapot". Great little train.
What an interesting little train,brilliant 👍
What an adorable little motor. I would love to learn more about it. It doesn't look as though it could hold water and fuel for more than a few thousand metres distance.
Coffee Pot has enough coal for the 34km round journey. At Woolshed Flat where lunch is had, the well tank is topped up, usually only 6-700L added.
Nice little train, I'm kind of curious on what is fuelling it as their is no tender for coal/wood.
the coal is probably stored in a sack or box in the engines cab
The coal bunker is between the cab side and boiler on the fireman's side.
Beautiful 🚂 thank you for this 🥰
You’re welcome 😊
That was great Judy, thanks for the video presentation. We are up at Qld, but if we get to SA, that would be fun. I sent your video to a railway fan in The States
Love it!!❤
Wonderful This should be a classfied national heritage transport vehicle
It looks so cute
Very unique railway good to see it running still with folks interested in travelling too. We too in India have toy trains that travel to Hill stations like Shimla Darjeeling and Coonoor.
Beautifull !!!!!!!
Rode that train, when i was a kid i think it was 1974 ,still have some pottery we bought
I wonder why only three or four trips per year.
This seems like the sort of train that I would happily commute on every week!
The Pichi Richi operation out of the Quorn is a Heritage railway that runs this and other trains. The larger gauge track used to be a part of the original track used by the Ghan when it, too, was a steam train

That Mickeymouse steam engine, I thought at first it was a joke... But Boy she 's got some puff in her! So cute//
喜欢这个小家伙 ！楼主拍的也很棒 ！我拥有 On30 这个模型 ，因为喜爱它的独特 ，，，，
I spent my career building 200 ft high power plants using boilers for steam. But my ancestors built these little locomotives! We owe a lot to the designers and Builders of locomotives!!
Very nice the oldie vintage steam Loco 👌🚂🚃😊🤗❤
Brillianr that this is still running. Dont think i managed to run on it when i was there way back when.
Incidentally ther is a Quorn in UK on the Great Central Railway. You should twin.
lovely !
Now that will make an awesome oo model
You know it…wood!
There was a R-T-R model of it in On30 by Ixion Models.
What a unique lovely little train. It’s a real Thomas the Tank.
Wonderful indeed.Looks and sounds like a fairy tale.
Great vid. Good work !
I travelled on the Pichi Richi Railway in 1981, behind a green locomotive. Great fun. Remember Quorn Station and Woolshed Flat. Last month (Sept 2024) I travelled on The Ghan from Darwin to Adelaide. More great fun.
At that speed, it might derail...One of the cutest Trains on the planet...
ŚWIETNY KOMPAKT. A silnik dieselowski jest idealny w tej maszynie. SUPER
No diesel in the Coffee Pot
The Otavi Railway in Africa in the 1890 -1910 period had a unit very similar to the Coffee Pot. The Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette had an article about the Otavi. Railway. It was in the 80s
A steam-powered doodlebug? Now I’ve seen everything.
Fabulous just love it

Walt Disney couldn't have made something cuter, and this is a real working engine!
Que preciosidad...😊😊😊
Nice Video Good Job
I am Indian
First time I see this train very like this
……did a trip on the P R Rly! Loved it to bits………
What a lovely little locomotive … it looks like a standard gauge but with a narrow gauge boiler. Delightful and reminiscent of the Welsh narrow gauge railways ❤❤
definitely 3'6" gauge.
