Fell Locomotive Museum Open Day
Wairarapa Archive 17-152/1-36
Meet the Hero of the Hill: H199, the worlds sole surviving Fell Locomotive.
Learn about the history of the Rimutaka Incline, one of only three railways built to Fell's patent and now a cycle way and footpath. The museum includes signalling equipment, a Fell brakevan, and a 17-minute documentary film showing the railway in 1949. There are toy trains for children, or they can make the Hero of the Hill itself move.
