The Margate Train, located at 1567 Channel Highway in Margate, Tasmania, is a unique shopping and tourist destination housed within a historic 1950s steam train. Built in England in 1950, the train served as the Tasman Limited passenger service between Hobart and Launceston until 1978. Today, its carriages host a variety of retail businesses, including arts and crafts, bric-a-brac, a microbrewery, and a buffet car offering espresso coffee and pancakes. Adjacent to the train, an antique warehouse and second-hand shop occupy a former IXL apple packing shed. The venue also features a children's play area, public restrooms, and ample parking, making it a family-friendly stop approximately 20 minutes south of Hobart.
