About

The Queensland Museum Rail Workshops (formerly the Workshops Rail Museum) is a railway museum in Ipswich, Queensland, located within the Queensland Rail owned North Ipswich Railway Workshops and tells the story of more than 150 years of railways in Queensland. Exhibits are spread out across a number of the complex's original buildings housing a collection of historic steam and diesel locomotives and other rolling stock that operated on Queensland Railways, as well as general interest exhibits and ones tailored specifically for children.

The museum, which opened in 2002, is part of the Queensland Museum network, and highlights include the oldest working locomotive in Australia and the largest model railway in Queensland.

The Workshops were closed until further notice, following a 26 October 2025 severe hailstorm.
