Christmas has come early for the team at Toowoomba's Downs Steam Tourist Railway with the delivery of four new coaches - a gift from Queensland Rail.

The two sleeper cars, a club car and a canteen car were hauled up the range yesterday and carefully shunted into Downs Steam's Drayton yards where they will be added to the railway's collection of rolling stock.

Downs Steam's Robert Ketton said the sleeper cars and club cars would eventually be used to take tourists on weekend trips to the Granite Belt wineries with unique overnight accommodation included in the package.
