A passenger excursion in the SAR SMC (Steam Motor Coach) on the Pichi Richi Railway from Quorn to Woolshed Flat, stopping at Summit.

The Historical Bit  Affectionately known as the "Coffee Pot", SMC 1 consists of an engine unit and a passenger coach. The coach is attached to the loco by a pivot beneath the firebox and the loco cab floor is part of the coach frame. SMC 1 was one of only two units built. SMC 2 went to the SAR South Eastern Narrow Gauge Division. SMC 1 spent its entire working life (1905 - 1932) based at Quorn where it ran a weekly mail and parcel service to Hawker. It was also used on weekend passenger charters, mainly for football clubs, as far as Port Augusta and Orroroo. In 1932 it was placed into storage and then static display at the railway station in Alice Springs. In 1984 it was returned to Quorn and fully restored to operating condition. SMC 1 is the only known working example of its type in the world. It is currently used for passenger excursions on the Pichi Richi Railway between Quorn and Woolshed Flat.
