We hope that you will take an opportunity to pay a visit to the Silver Stream Railway. Nestled in a quiet corner of the Hutt Valley, you will find one of New Zealand's most comprehensive and largest collections of preserved and operating steam locomotives.
We operate a steam train most Sundays of the year, with a large engine on the first weekend of the month and you can pay by Cash or EFTPOS.
Web Site Updates!
We are creating a listing of local businesses who provide services for birthdays and other functions like Cake decorating or a Magician for your kids party. See the 'Entertainers and Event/Function Services' tab under our Birthdays and Special Events section
Our carriages and wagon page has been updated with history and other
information on our rolling stock. We are assembling photos and these
will be added in the future.

We are always looking for help and if you would like to give some of
your time we would welcome new members. You don't need to know about
trains or engineering, just have an interest in train. Perhaps you'd like to help paint a carriage or clean an engine it
does not matter but if you do have an engineering background or
understand electric wiring etc it would be a great help to us. So if you
keen you to help or just want to help us financially to maintain and restore our collection. Have a look at our 'Joining SSR' section for a membership form.
