Preserving New Zealand's English Electric Railway Heritage

We are a registered charity dedicated to preserving New Zealand's diesel railway heritage. Since 1983, our team of volunteers has specialised in restoring and maintaining locomotives built by the English Electric Company—machines that were vital to mid-20th century rail transport across the country.

Based at Ferrymead Heritage Park and Weka Pass Railway, we operate a diverse fleet on both heritage railways and the National Network. Every restoration project, every maintenance hour, and every kilometer traveled represents our commitment to keeping these mechanical taonga (treasures) running for future generations.

As a volunteer-run organisation, we rely entirely on the generosity of supporters like you to continue our work.
