New Zealand Railway and Locomotive Society
The New Zealand Railway and Locomotive Society Inc is a society of railway enthusiasts, based in Wellington.
The Society publishes a magazine, the New Zealand Railway Observer and a newsletter Turntable. The Society publishes books on railway subjects. There are currently about 25 books available, as listed on the website. Most are about New Zealand railways, but there is a book Cane Trains about railways in Fiji.
For contact details, including addresses of local representatives throughout New Zealand and in England, see the Society website.
The Society archives are in the Thomas McGavin Building on the Ava railway station's former goods yard in the Hutt Valley. At one time an old railway carriage held at the Ngaio railway station was used.
The Society was preceded by The New Zealand Railway Correspondence Society, which had started publishing a typed Observer on a Gestetner in 1944.
