Painted in green and red, the colours of Clonakilty, the Choo Choo Road Train has two carriages, is wheelchair friendly and suitable for all ages. The vehicle is just under 60ft long and is powered by a German adaptation of a Toyota Landcruiser.
The charming train is one of the key visitor attractions for families in the town and draws cheery salutes and waves wherever it travels.
