The first issue of the Observer was produced in June 1944 along the lines of its British equivalent. It appears to have been a solo effort by Tom McGavin acting as Editor, and Secretary/Treasurer of the new Railway Correspondence Society. Within a year the Society was to get a new name The New Zealand Railway and Locomotive Society, and go on to produce regular issues of The New Zealand Railway Observer. Issue 1 consisted of a few specialised articles and some general news as follows:

The New Zealand Correspondence Society.

Locomotive Developments in New Zealand, 1933 - 1943

NZ Line Speed Limits

News and Comments

  • The Christchurch to Picton Mainline
  • Classification of Car Vans
