Volunteers needed at Bay of Islands Vintage Railway
We are the first railway in North Island, the most northerly in NZ, and a not-for-profit charity. We had the first passenger train in the country, and our aim is to carry on running vintage trains for our future generations to enjoy.
If you would like to help us as a volunteer, we need mechanics to help maintain our vintage diesel engines, guards and drivers as train crew, shopkeepers for our gift shop, and painters/metal workers/cleaners in the workshop. If this fits your interests, please ring 021-171-2697 for more information
