Box wagon K610 has had some of the surplus filler removed from the roof (a particularly boring, dusty, tiring task) and the new edge boards fitted. The accompanying moldings have been manufactured or repaired, and painted prior to fitting.

Work has recommenced on overhauling the third main door and second drop door on cattle wagon T175. Since the door frame was re-welded and treated for corrosion, it has been primed and timber is being prepared for re-cladding it. The next batch of flooring timber only requires one more coat of paint before it is fitted.

Trolley WW 7079 has had its corroded and leaking fuel tank repaired and it has been installed on the original bracket on the motor rather than the unusual location it has occupied for some time on the passenger side of the wooden front shield. Relocating the fuel tank has allowed the fuel line to be shorter and downward sloping, and makes the trolley less cluttered in appearance. This has allowed the flag box to return to its original location, meaning that the number is once again visible. A second piece of timber has been replaced below the footboard as the original was disintegrating. The rest of the operational trolley fleet has been tuned and had its oil changed. The engine on WW 6916 (2 man, aluminum frame) has also been tuned and the rusty shroud has been sanded and repainted, and reassembly of this previously unserviceable machine is well under way.

Now that the window mechanisms seem to be functioning well on the cab doors of TR 81, replacement oak door panels have been fitted to the interior framing of the door. These are finished in a natural oil with brass screws as it seems that this is how the originals looked before the NZR cab green was applied. The axle box wicks have also been replaced.

All the spring guide bushes have been replaced on DS 203, as have the axle box wicks. One spring has also been replaced with a spare as the top leaf was broken. The assistant's side sliding window was rapidly falling apart, so it has been rebuilt and spruced up so it now looks and functions much better. The brass handle and slide plates were cleaned, benefiting enormously from a trip through a members dishwasher to remove the years of oil and grime.

The cab, boiler cladding, ash pan and one tank have been removed from the Kerr Stuart steam locomotive. Pleasingly, it looks largely unchanged since the last 10 year boiler survey.

Filling and painting of the exterior of the former Katiki Station is proceeding, and the new sarking and roofing iron have been fitted.

In all, over 60 sleepers were replaced over the winter and spot replacement will continue. The cycle track adjacent to the railway is now complete and ballast from the accessway will be used for further track repairs.
