We are open to the public for train rides on 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month and selected public holiday Mondays from 11am to 4pm, often with a steam locomotive in service, supplemented by diesel locomotive or railcar.

Trains operate over a 1.5km section of restored track that was originally part of the Wellington to Upper Hutt main line. Return trips take approximately 15 minutes return and run on demand through out the day.

Eftpos and credit card payment methods are available. The Workshop and Engine Shed is not open for viewing on regular operating days due to it being a workshop environment unsuitable for visitors.
