I thought I would describe the trip not sequentially, but rather by sections - the train, other passengers, food, excursions. Hopefully that way I'll not forget anything, but here's not promising!
The train itself was long and that's an understatement! Although there were only about 110 passengers, there were 12 carriages with accommodation for passengers, there were also 2 dining carriages, kitchens, library, bar car, staff quarters, saloon and observation carriage. Believe me we had no trouble achieving our 10,000 steps!
The locomotives seemed to be changed often, not sure why.
The track (narrow gauge) was pretty rough and a single track in Thailand but dual track and much newer once we hit Malaysia. The train did rock and roll round a fair bit.
