The Lumsden Heritage Trust planned to recover two V class locomotives from the Mararoa Junction Locomotive Dump in the Oreti River. The locomotives were dumped in the river near Mararoa Junction for riverbank protection in 1927 and the two locomotives were unearthed in 2018. On 29 January 2020 V127 was recovered and put on display in Lumsden, but it proved impracticable to remove V126 as it was too firmly embedded in the earth.
