We are based at Ferrymead Heritage Park. Our locomotives are used on passenger trains and heavy shunting services on the Ferrymead Railway. Our locomotives also work on other heritage/tourist railways and charters on the national rail network. We are a member of FRONZ (Federation of Rail Organisations of New Zealand).
