47' 6" wooden body passenger carriages

47" 6' foot carriage at Hindon.

All trains as of January 2017 include some of Dunedin Railways five ex-New Zealand Government Railways 47" 6' foot wooden cladded carriages. These cars are known as "Scarrett'" heritage carriages, and were built between 1912 and 1923 with open platform ends and gangways and 37 seats. Dunedin Railways has started retiring these carriages largely to provide bogies for their 56-foot stock, which did not have their own when they were purchased. Two of the 47 foot cars have been sold, while two were scrapped circa 1978. One carriage, A 1254, is owned by the Ocean Beach Railway and is leased to Dunedin Railways. This carriage will be returned to the OBR at the conclusion of its lease.

The steel-clads have 30-37 seats, enclosed vestibules and covered gangways and were built by New Zealand Railways Department in 1931-40. One of these is an AL class car-van with a small luggage compartment at one end while the other two are A class carriages. Steel-cladded cars, As 50159 and 50223 were sold to the Weka Pass Railway in 2008 and AL 50090 was sold to the Midland Rail Heritage Trust in 2013.

'Jungle Gym' TGR panorama cars

TGR has three all-steel air conditioned panorama cars with open platform ends and open gangways similar to the 'Scarrett' cars, known locally as 'Jungle Gyms' due to the nature of their framework when under construction. These were designed and built by the OETT in 1987-92, with a "very distinctive shape to fit the tunnels". Two of these carriages were built on Z class 'roadsider' van underframes while the third was built on the underframe of guard's van F 529.

56-foot

In September 2007 the TGR announced that it had purchased 12 NZR 56-foot carriages formerly used on the Wairarapa Connection. The first of these, A 2325, was prepared at a cost of $45,000 and was ready in September 2008. The company anticipated having three carriages in service by the end of 2008, and all 12 by 2013. The upgrade included new seating, carpets, toilets and external paint. The railway intends to refurbish three carriages each year. As of December 2015, only five out of the twelve carriages have been restored. A 3022 is leased from its owners, John and Rolf Christensen. It has been leased to Dunedin Railways since 2013 and has been repainted into the new dark blue livery. In 2018, Dunedin Railways purchased six big-window AO/ASO class carriages from KiwiRail. Two of these have since been converted to all steel framing, and reclassified as ADR.

SXA 1744	Commonwealth Engineering	1962	2000s	In service for Queensland Rail from 1962 until 1997. In the same year it was sold to the Zig Zag Railway. It was purchased by the Auckland Regional Council in 2003. It was then sold-on to Dunedin Railways. It is currently used as a storage wagon.

Locomotives and railcars

The railway owns eight former New Zealand Railways D^J class locomotives, six of which are currently operational and certified for mainline operation. They are painted in a the "Southerner Blue" scheme carried by the class in the 1970s. A seventh, DJ 3021 (ex-D^J 1202), is stored in Dunedin awaiting restoration. The locomotive was stored at Middlemarch goods shed from March 2000 to October 2017 after it was purchased from its former home at Ranfurly station, where it was statically displayed. The eighth, DJ 3044 (D^J 1204) was acquired from Mainline Steam in 2011 as a source of spare parts, with the locomotive dismantled. Although most of the components remain intact. Both were painted in the modified 'International Orange' blue scheme and were in 'as withdrawn' condition.

TGR also operates one D^E class locomotive, D^E 504 (TMS DE 1337). This locomotive was acquired from Otago Polytechnic in the early 1990s and is not mainline certified, instead being based at the TGR works depot at the 4 km peg. It previously carried a modified 'International Orange' scheme but was repainted in 2006 to its original livery of Carnation Red with the addition of 'wasp stripes' on the headstocks as it would have carried in the 1970s.

In 2013, Dunedin Railways hired Silver Fern railcar RM 24 from KiwiRail and currently operates this on trips between Dunedin and Waitati. The railcar is currently on hire during the 2013-14 summer season from October to April and will be returned to KiwiRail in April 2014 on conclusion of the lease.

Dunedin Railways formerly operated a shunting locomotive, T^R 111 at their Dunedin depot as their resident shunting locomotive. This locomotive was obtained by the Otago Excursion Train Trust in 2009 from enthusiast Reid McNaught, who had leased the locomotive to Dunedin Railways since 2006. It was sold to the Canterbury Railway Society in July 2015.

AE

The Antipodean Explorer is a proposed passenger train operated by Antipodean Explorer New Zealand, and is planned to operated from Auckland in the North Island to Queenstown in the South Island in New Zealand just once. At 75 locations, the train would stop for two to five hours every morning and every afternoon. 16 disused passenger carriages from Auckland Transport will be rebuilt into "the world's best moving hotel" for mainly 56 exclusive 56 Chinese guests.

DAR class

In 1989, Tasman Pulp and Paper was looking to replace their resident Kawerau shunting locomotive, Bagnall 0-6-0DM N^O 3079. This locomotive had been rebuilt in the late 1970s with a new Caterpillar D343T diesel engine and torque converter to make it more effective as a heavy shunter, but due to increases in traffic, it was no longer able to keep up. New Zealand Rail initially offered a DH class locomotive as a replacement, however Tasman did not feel the locomotive would be up to the task. In more recent years, the DH class has occasionally worked at Kawerau, and has been able to keep up with demands. At the time, NZ Rail was withdrawing the last DA class locomotives, and the decision was made to offer DA 512 as a new heavy shunter. The locomotive was altered by removing the dynamic brake components and lowering the front short hood containing and altering the cab for better forward visibility. It was then renumbered as DA 822 and was painted in Tasman's orange-brown colours just before it entered service at Kawerau in March 1990. This allowed the Bagnall to be withdrawn, and later scrapped after briefly being offered to the Bay of Islands Vintage Railway.

In 1997, Tasman decided to sell its locomotive back to Tranz Rail, (who would then take over the duties of shunting the Kawerau yard with more conventional shunting locomotives). As a result, DA 512 was repainted in the Cato Blue livery at Westfield Locomotive Depot in June 1998. It was intended to be used as a slave unit, but it was moved it to Hutt Workshops a few days later for further alterations to make it more suitable as a heavy shunting locomotive. This included fitting shunters refuges at either end of the locomotive, installation of a vigilance system, and extended drawgear to accommodate the extra length of the refuges. It was reclassified and renumbered as DAR 517.

The locomotive was released from Hutt in 1999 and allocated to the Kiwi Dairies milk factory at Whareroa. Here, it replaced ex-NZR Bagnall DSA 414 (D^SA 240, the sub-class leader) as the resident shunting locomotive. It was repainted in the Toll Rail 'Corn Cob' colours in 2005, but was withdrawn from service in September 2008 for an overhaul (which never commenced) and was placed in storage at Hutt Workshops. The locomotive was scrapped in December 2017.

Gate Huts

Because of the railway running through private farmland, Gate Keepers are assigned to Gates N^O. 1 and 2. Because of this, a hut is allocated to both gates.

During the mid to late 1980s, phone-booth huts were built. But because of the small size of them, the ex-pump-house from the former Kaiapoi rail yard was transported to Gate N^O. 1, and the ex-Hawarden Gangers hut was transported to Gate N^O. 2, to replace the phone-booth like-huts. On 8 July 2004, two new brand new huts (which were built in the WPRs yard in Waipara) replaced the second-hand huts (which have since been demolished). The new huts have been named after two late members respectfully.

1995

Organised by the Weka Pass Railway, Friends of the Waipara Church and the Waipara Volunteer Fire Brigade, the first Waipara Vintage Festival was held over the weekend of 16 and 17 September 1995. The event had exhibitions of many traction engines, vintage tractors and cars, stationery engines, and many other exhibits. Shuttle trains (which were hauled by A 67 and Kerr Stuart N^O 4185 from the Ocean Beach Railway, with D^SA 276 at the rear) ran to and from McCaskeys Dam.
