Antipodean "Beamish"

Neil Morgan visited Ferrymead Heritage Park in South Island, NZ in February & took the photos below:
Manning Wardle H class 1841 of 1914 in Ferrymeads exhibits store
W192 built by NZR at Addington Workshops in 1889
Built by Neilson of Glasgow in 1872, F13 Peveril is NZ's oldest working steam locomotive
(The adjacent loco is probably the 1901-built Baldwin)
(Black Hawthorn & Stephensons also built F class locos- see Industrial Railway Record)
Stephenson (of New Jersey) Californian combination tram No.1 from the Christchurch system
DE512 built by English Electric in 1951
D1501 built at English Electric at Preston in 1954
The photos above are courtesy of Neil Morgan 

There is a list of rolling stock at Ferrymeads.

There are a number of open air industrial & folk museums in the UK & around the world.   This list is incomplete - for example it omits Summerlee in Coatbridge.
