Today's batch is from Oamaru, during a day visit to North Otago (I recommend the Herbert camping ground as its run by relatives of both myself and the lady of the house. The south island has 2 degrees of separation, which is sufficient for marriage).
The Oamaru port is home to one of the lesser known preservation sites in the country (Mandeville not withstanding). Its actually located on the site of the first Oamaru station which as far as I can tell from the track work was about here...
Oamaru was once famous for its collection of old steam locos that were dumped to protect the foreshore back in the days when scrap metal was worth nothing. Unfortunately they have since rusted away to next to nothing in the corrosive sea air. I think this might once have been part of a Baldwin Ub
This was easier to identify as an old single Fairlie
The last one was a bit more of a challenge. its a 4-6-0, but could have been anything
However, closer inspection reveals the fine print
