Waimea Plains Railway Mandeville NZ

Waimea Plains Railway Trust was established in 1998 to restore and recreate a small part of the historic, once privately owned Waimea Plains Railway, which opened in 1880 and operated from Gore to Elbow (Lumsden).
 


K92 on the 'Sellars' Turntable at a Dunedin location, close to Rattray Street possibly 1880. 

This particular turntable was relocated to Heriot and used there from 1910 to 1978. After being sold to a local farmer it was found and purchased by the Trust in 2002. 
The Turntable has been relocated and will continue to be used by K92 at Waimea Plains Railway, Mandeville.

The name Kingston Flyer was first used in 1886 for the train from Gore to Kingston.
