Pahiatua Railcar Society

It is notable for possessing the sole remaining examples of the RM class 88 seater and Wairarapa railcars.

The railway station is a wooden structure that dates from 1971 and was built to replace a former building from 1897 that had been demolished.

It is one of the last wooden stations built by the New Zealand Railways Department and one of the few remaining examples of its type.

The Society also possesses three jiggers (surfacemen's trolleys), two motorised and one hand-powered, and the turntable from Thames.

In September 2020, the Society announced it had bought the three recently-retired Silver Fern Railcars off of KiwiRail.
