Members from both SRW and WMR&ES had a great day out on the "Wairua" River Boat. We travelled up the Whanganui River to Hipango Park for a picnic lunch. A big thank you to Sam Mordey for a great trip. Photos taken by myself, Keegan JJ, Ewan P and Trevor F.
Nikau Junction Visit.
28th February 2024.
This was a combined club night between SRW and WMR&ES. Nikau Junction is a 7 1/4-inch private ride on railway, out Castlecliff in Wanganui. A big thank you to Ian Jones for allowing us to have a look and ride on this 300m long railway. This was a great night out, giving me some ideas for my own future build.

Wanganui Vintage Weekend
20th - 2nd January 2024.
Keegan, myself and the Dogs were once again involved with SRW with this long weekend. They had our doors open to the public on all 3 days and gave motor trolley rides on the Sunday and Monday. The Sunday was their busiest day. But they were very pleased with the public turn out over the whole weekend. Everyone who visited seemed to enjoy themselves. They also took the opportunity to finish off a bit of motor trolley driver training over the weekend. A big thank you goes to members who helped out over the weekend. My motor trolley was again involved in this event. Photos by Blair J, Kylie J & Ewan P.
