Ferrymead Two Foot Railway
The Ferrymead Two Foot Railway Society Inc. is a member society of Ferrymead Heritage Park, in Heathcote, Christchurch, New Zealand. The society operates the narrow gauge Ferrymead Two Foot Railway on an 450 m long circuit of track at the park, adjacent to the Moorhouse railway station. Trains are operated during special events or on major operating days using two small carriages built on ex-tipping wagon chassis.
==Locomotives==
The railway has two F. C. Hibberd & Co. "Planet" diesel-mechanical locomotives, built in 1953. Both were originally imported by Dominion Salt Ltd for use at its Lake Grassmere salt works in Marlborough; following the construction of a conveyor belt system to replace the railway in 1964 both locomotives were placed in open-air storage at Lake Grassmere before moving to Ferrymead in 1967.〔http://www.nzrsr.co.nz/view_page.php?page=13&search=false&sort=none&order=none〕
Of the two locomotives, Planet No. 3483 ''George'' is undergoing restoration to working order at Ferrymead. Planet No. 3484 ''Winifred'' has been restored to working order and has been the regular operational locomotive on the group's line since 2007. Both locomotives were named after members of the Skellerup family who originally owned the salt works, ''Winifred'' being named after the late Winifred Skellerup while ''George'' is named after George Skellerup, Winifred's father and the original owner of Dominion Salt.
