Number 9 at Paekakariki in the 1890's

---

No.9 moved home

The Wellington & Manawatu Railway Trust would like to thank Ben Calcott, Neville Tobin, Colin Perfect, Alex Maciver, Daniel Garland and Adam Orchard for their generous donations which allowed the frame, tender and associated parts of No.9 to be transported from Christchurch to Paekakariki on 26 February.

Loaded in Christchurch at noon, the equipment was delivered safely to Steam Incorporated by 8am the next morning where it was unloaded and further disassembly has begun.

We will have a full report of this exciting development in our next newsletter in May.
