Providing a look back through the ages for young and old and showing people how things used to be done by running our railway and putting our vintage machinery collection to use

We've been around since 1971 and have a long and varied track record, most notably, perhaps, the restoration to working order of Rogers K 88 retrieved from a riverbed in Southland in the 1970's and fully restored to operating order twice.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
