Pahiatua Railcar Center

We are situated at the Pahiatua Station, two kilometres west of the township and have the restored ex-New Zealand Railways standard railcar RM 31 and are at present restoring Wairarapa railcar RM 5 and twinset railcar, RM121. We are amongst a select group of railway museums that is fortunate enough to enjoy the privilege of having a railway station and mainline access.

RM 5 is on lease from the Silverstream Railway and has undergone a substantial ground-up restoration including complete reconstruction of the exterior and interior. The restoration is now nearing completion with finishing works being undertaken.
