Wander through our pioneer village, complete with church and fire-station or take a ride on one of our three Steam Locomotives, that date from the 1800's through to the 1950's, and includes the famous 'Rogers 'K' 88'. The railway runs along about 2.5km of the Former Mt Somers Branchline in Mid-Canterbury.
