Membership
Silver Stream Railway is run entirely by volunteer members that come from all walks of life, who do everything there is to do in running a railway including: restoring and maintaining our rolling stock, track, buildings and grounds, various administrative tasks, and operating the railway for the enjoyment of the public.
Members are spread right throughout New Zealand so distance is no drawback , those who do not live close enough to be actively involved still make a valuable contribution financially to the upkeep of the railway. Main work days are Saturdays with Wednesdays the day that our senior members, many of whom are retired, work on numerous projects that always need doing.
