Feilding and District Steam Rail Society

Manawatu Community Halls

The Society has restored for main line running, the steam locomotive Wab 794 as a community project. "The Wab class is a tank version of the famous Ab class. With the water tanks over the driving wheels, the class had very good pulling power at low speeds and excellent acceleration on flats. These locomotives were designed mainly for suburban workings in Auckland and Wellington where quick acceleration to operating speed was required." Another locomotive (X442) is in store awaiting restoration.
