Lumsden Heritage Trust

The Lumsden Heritage Trust was formed in November 2013[1] to preserve the past, promote the future and provide an attraction for visitors.

[2] The trust has two ex-AFFCO locomotives that were formerly preserved by the Goldfields Railway,[3][4] the chassis of P 60,[5] ex-New Zealand Railways (NZR) wagons that were formerly preserved by the Ohai Railway Board Heritage Trust, a railway station including a crane next to it[6] and a jail from the Lumsden camping grounds.

[8] On 29 January 2020, V 127 was recovered and put on display, but it proved impracticable to remove V 126.

After further consideration a new attempt to remove V 126 was made on 27 February 2020, and this proved successful.

The trust plans to relocate the original wooden Anglican All Saints Church to re-purpose it as a regional war memorial museum and to host some of the events being planned to commemorate World War I.
