Lumsden Heritage Trust
The Lumsden Heritage Trust was formed in November 2013 to preserve the past, promote the future and provide an attraction for visitors. The trust has two ex-AFFCO locomotives that were formerly preserved by the Goldfields Railway, the chassis of P 60, ex-NZR wagons that were formerly preserved by the Ohai Railway Board Heritage Trust, a railway station including a crane next to it and a jail from the Lumsden camping grounds.
The trust planned to recover two V class locomotives from the Mararoa Junction Locomotive Dump in the Oreti River These two locomotives were unearthed in 2018.. On 29 January 2020, V 127 was recovered and put on display, but it proved impracticable to remove V 126. After further consideration a new attempt to remove V 126 was made on 27 February 2020, and this proved successful. The following day she was also put on display.
The trust plans to relocate the original Anglican All Saints wooden church to re-purpose it as a regional war memorial museum and to host some of the events being planned to commemorate World War I.
