Video

I love this video , it is cool to see a dbr used instead of a kiwirail locomotive 😊

I love the Safetran Type Three E Bells it's a cool sound

Even more milestones achieved

AM 836 had made a major milestone

Will they do 6 car testings

Can't wait!

I saw you there!😁

ASO1 + A3022 the first two passenger carriages behind the locomotives

What does on loan mean?

Nice view at what Auckland was before electrification, I moved to Auckland after electrification so don't know what it was like first hand.

Why kiwirail locomotives weren't for the testing?

Thank you for another brilliant video alex!👍

Very cool. Im guessing DBR1254 was turned at the Paerata Triangle?

The AMs have finally reached their first milestone

Will they ever do a 6 car testing to pukekohe?

When will the electric wires come in action?

I guess it must have been cheaper for AT to hire GVR's DBR than to get a loco from Kiwirail

Nice Video! This woukdve been cool to see. 🫤

how was the coupling done? did they make a chopper-shaku adapter just for this train?

Why'd they need GVR power for this testing?

Saw that at New Lynn on 27th of February

Yesterday i rode Am 306 to Middlemore from manukua then saw Am's 593 And 904

The 'Public Holiday', was non other than ANZAC Day...They shall never be forgotten. Lives given, for us today to enjoy...Be aware of where Autocracies and ROT with-in Democracies are headed today...not bad video. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

I'm assuming that the log wagons heading toward the port will be milled in China, what a shame, thanks for sharing

Put bells on the locos sounds way better.

Basically a joke train. A small portion of the NZTA budget could get the Hamilton --> Auckland service faster than driving and far more frequently. Needs to utilise induced demand. Also what the heck is with the hideously long PA? Whoever is in charge of this service needs a train travelling holiday in the UK

You are extremely lucky to have a railway in your back garden 😊

Thank you for another excellent video 🙏

This is so cool 😎

Thanx for the great trip. Don't see much of steam trains since moving to Tauranga.

Do we know how old ww 644 is?

I think its also about time you came back down here for a change

This video is absolutely excellent, thank you so much for sharing 😊

Thanks for a cool video

Nice little railway which I visited in 2010 during my holiday to NZ, they gave me a cab ride on this locomotive. Actually had several cab rides in NZ, as soon as they find out you're an enthusiast and visiting from abroad you're mostly welcomed.

Nice old day out with the blue engine that's show has turn to dog water but some.good clips in there

I guess the DBR's are in storage atm, awaiting work to be done on them

very good

This compilation is really cool, I need to watch your livestream more often but it is awkward living in the UK because of the time difference!

This video is absolutely brilliant, I have been watching your videos for a long time 😊

I have been watching your channel for about seven years and I always enjoy all of your videos, thank you for this roundup 😊

I would like to have seen the inside of the boaches.

Would be interesting if the new DM locos would be at least trailed on the Metroport trains

the 5 minute long announcement yapping lmao

Te Huia could get another SRV lead carriage at the back replacing the loco so that way the train would look a lot better and it'll look like the Auckland EMUs.

old Queensland and Perth Railcars

That weird control car would never make it to Auckland on time because the Loco is too heavy 😂

Great Video, the speed and quality of the load suggests that customers on this line needs to lift their game or risk loosing it! thanks for sharing

Interesting Video, why did the last train have 5 engines when the total train length was less than 50 carriages most of which were 2 axle?

Watching this nine years later somehow feels relatable. I remember watching this as a kid, and having no understanding whatsoever of what it meant. I just liked the trains lol. ❤
