We were supposed to make a trip behind this loco, but due to the weather, floods, slips etc, it was cancelled.

The Capital Connection - runs between Palmerston North and Wellington daily. It is kept 'watered' while stabled, to deter the graffiti artists.

This rake of perfectly usable diesel units have become obsolete. Displaced in Auckland by new electrics. To deter the graffiti artists, they were towed to Taumarunui, some 200 miles away for safer storage. However, some 'expressions of interest' have been made for them from South Africa, who also used 'mini' narrow gauge trains.

Good set, and that is a good idea to keep the trains watered down.

Thanks for looking Richard. Keeping them wet prevents the graffiti paint from sticking

Thanks for looking Richard. Apparently this is quite an exclusive train (and quite costly) Runs at a loss every year - but must be better travelling than on the over congested roads.
