Sir:
It is great to hear Dunedin’s Earnslaw inspired Steam Heritage Weekend was sucsessful and is tipped to be an Annual event .
To me Dunedin always seemed to be a Mecca for 19th Century technology and should really celebrate this heritage.
I do recall talking to the Late Les Hutchins Founder of Real Journeys about Kingston becoming a working Tourist Steam Museum
With Replicas of now lost Lake Steamers and Refurbished Steam Locomotives and Railways buildings.
However That would have required Government Focus and Coordination that we sadly lack in the 21st century.
Oamaru works harder at it’s 19th Century Heritage Strategy and will may well become a Steam Punk Capital,
Though they never manufactured Steam locomotives or Ships.
