i have enjoyed all 3 videos Thumbsup


Lutz
Yeah, some great videos of trains and some really interesting scenery, too.  The model railroad views were icing on the cake, with some very well-done model work.   Applause Applause Applause

Gidday Charlie, the diesel locomotives are Kiwirail Class DXC which are upgraded versions of the Former New Zealand Railways DX class which were GE built U26C model which were a narrow-gauge version of the U23C. The DXCs had their air intakes modified so as to haul trains through the 5.3 mile 1 in 33 grade Otira tunnel which had previously been electrified. Here’s a link to more information on the DX class.

Glad you enjoyed the videos, Lutz.

Yeah, Wayne, virtually straight out of a tunnel, over a curved bridge, then into a reversed curve, with two grade changes, in a narrow alpine valley, what’s not to like!! Icon_lol
