Ferrymead Heritage Park's steam locomotive W192 was built in 1889 by the New Zealand Government Railways (NZR) in their Addington Workshops, here in Christchurch. It was the first locomotive to be built in the NZR's own workshops. There were only two "W" class locomotives built (the design being modified for the later "Wa" class), and is loosely thought to be a side tank version of the earlier J class tender locomotives making them more suitable for heavily graded sections of track.
