- After 13 months of hard work by GVR volunteers, DBR 1254 was unveiled to RES members and GVR volunteers on 29 September 2019. The locomotive was completely stripped down and overhauled, eventually turning out in a fresh Fruit Salad livery. DBR 1254 is intended for mainline running and is at present not far off receiving certification as a heritage vehicle.
After pushing DCP 4818, the railway's next diesel restoration project, into the shed, DBR 1254 made its first passenger trip from Pukeoware to Victoria Ave, where it was joined by sister DBR 1295 for a number of photo runs. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Great to see another locomotive redone and out of the shed! Must head back to Glenbrook someday to see if I can catch her running
Amazing horn and great video!
Absolutely amazing, well done.
Man its crazy that these things are already getting restorations
It does make one feel old. I saw these engines enter service then go out.
cool, another locomotive
HI there Do you know when AM810 is going to arrive at AKL port
Am 810 is currently under going testing and will enter service soon. When she does, she will be doing nothing but Onehunga services. This will allow the drivers to practice on her and get accustomed to the new CAF ETCS system.
Like a new one!
Impressive part of masterpiece but while 1254 might not have all original parts she is still a magnificent locomotive and still enjoy how they attached old numberboards together.
And 4818 is next for overhaul. can't wait to see what she appears back as.
She'll probably appear in a fruit salad livery
@@n.f.railphotography7185 i wished that dc 4444 was preserved but oh well. One in the MAX livery would be cool too
Would somebody mind explaining what exactly bag pipes have to do with a preservation society in South Auckland?
hahah, I just realised, the local Maori probably called you guys racists for not including them in this ceremony.
