ft turntable, to which the railways retain a right of access. Steam Incorporated As steam started to disappear from the NZR network, a group of enthusiasts united to preserve steam locomotives with the express intention of running them on the mainline network. At the time, all locomotives that had been preserved were solely for use on heritage railways or for static display, and as the NZR sold locomotives on the proviso that they would never again run on the NZR network, it was a radical concept. Steam Incorporated was formed in 1972, and locomotives were purchased by the society or for the society by members. Until 1985, NZR had decreed that no steam locomotives were to run on mainlines. NZR then allowed one mainline excursion a year. In 1988, following the success of the Ferrymead 125 celebrations, NZR agreed to lift the ban and charged enthusiasts to use the network. As a result, Steam Incorporated were able to run excursions on the network from their Paekākāriki base. In 1988, Steam Incorporated also acquired two DA class locomotives recently withdrawn by NZR.
