About Us

Manukau Live Steamers Inc. was formed in 1981 to build a ground level track so members that were building miniature locomotives would have a track on which to run their locos.

Safety at our railway

Hopping on

Step over the carriage, placing one foot on the ground either side of it.
Sit down.
Put your feet on the foot boards.

Remain Seated

Once on the train:

Remain seated at all times.
Keep small children on the carriage in front of you or hold them tightly against your chest.
Don’t rock the carriage.
Face forward, in the direction of travel.
Keep your feet on the foot boards.

Do not lean out

Once on the train:

Leaning out is strictly prohibited.

The wheels on our miniature trains are a lot closer together than their full-size counterparts, so leaning out may derail the train, or you could fall off.

NO Photos or Videos

While the train is in motion:

No Photos or Videos from any device.
Leaning out is strictly prohibited.

We aren’t top secret – we just want you to be safe. Leaning out to grab a snap can lead to you going off balance, and falling off or derailing the train.

Leave the fauna!

While the train is in motion:

Please leave any close by trees, fauna, bushes etc alone – they have feelings too!
If you are travelling close to another train, or friends are standing near – don’t reach out to them.
Leaning out is strictly prohibited.

Again, we don’t want you to get hurt. Nearby objects can pull you and others, off the carriage or derail them.

Keeping it safe

We don’t want you falling off, hurting yourself or others:

Follow the rules and directions of our team.
Respect other passengers.
In the unlikely event of an incident, remain calm, and follow the directions of our drivers and team.

We provide these rules and instructions to keep you, and the other passengers onboard the train safe.

Before you attempt to disobey our rules, think about the consequences of your actions on others.

Amazing place to come on a Sunday with a picnic and the family. $2 rides around the park and its great to have a child’s party.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you all. We came today and had a ride on the steam train, and our boys loved it. It s such a joy to have happy, delightful people volunteering and great to see younger people helping too. Keep up your good work! May Jesus and Mary bless you, a very happy family
