We proudly present our new passenger wagon, built in our own workshop, pictured at the station just after testing.
We hope to have it running just as soon as we get the ok from NZTA.
Make sure you come and see it!

Membership
We would very much like some new members, especially if you have just retired and are looking for an interest that is not too time consuming. Membership includes all ages, with the common bond of interest in railways. Weekly meetings and weekend working bees provide labour to maintain the club's equipment and to allow the club's older members to pass along valuable knowledge and
skills to the younger members. New members and visitors are welcome. Please call Treasurer, Ray Palmer on +64 9 435 1979 or email him at dmail@xtra.co.nz for information.
