Our story, our passion

At SAR Redhen Promotions, our journey is driven by a deep commitment to preserving South Australian railway history. Discover what inspires us, what makes us unique, and the passion behind every product we offer.

Our inspiration: Bringing history home

SAR Redhen Promotions was born from the inspiring mission of RegionalRail: to return two operating, South Australian-built 1955 Redhen Railcars, SAR Redhen 311 and 402, home from Victoria. Grant McDougall's incredible journey and dedication to this project ignited our passion to support this vital preservation effort. Every purchase helps bring these magnificent pieces of history back to where they belong.

More than just an online shop

What sets SAR Redhen Promotions apart? We're not just an online store; our fundraiser merchandise isn't only available via our website, but also through various supporting venues across South Australia. This unique approach allows us to connect with more people and gather broader support for the return of SAR Redhen 311 and 402. When you shop with us, you're investing directly into a tangible piece of history.

SAR Redhen Promotions is always seeking more venues and supporting outlets across South Australia.

Locally made with pride

We take immense pride in the products we offer, from our double-stitched drink coolers to our tea and coffee mugs. Every item is not only locally designed but also printed right here in South Australia. This commitment to local craftsmanship ensures high quality and supports our community. We love knowing that each purchase contributes to a greater cause while delivering a product made with care and dedication.

"Their dedication to preserving history is truly inspiring, and the quality of their merchandise is outstanding."
