New EMUs for Wellington NZ

[Bill69]

Hi All,
Here are some pics of the new Units just introduced in Wellington NZ.

Front with driver's controls on the near side.

Looking almost head on.

Centre section of both the FT trailer car and the FP power car. they are both the same except for the Yellow door at the front of the trailer car. The yellow door denotes a wheelchair entrance.

Wheelchair entry.

Cheers,

Great shots, Bill - and you did well to get them without people milling around.
Cheers,

Hi Trevor,

Well trains have two sides, I went over to platform 8 when no trains were there to get most of the closeups. I have lots more if you want them.

Cheers,
Bill

Wow they look great!
It will be such a shame to lose the English Electric DM units though!:'(
It won't be the Johnsonville Line without them!

Don't worry, I think the DM units will be running on the Johnsonville line for some time yet. There won't be enough new Maitangi units to do all the work.

That's a reasonably good-looking unit there.

Nice shots of her, too.

Now wouldn't that train look just brilliant in Trainz?!

Could be coming, I think Fender849 has some interest in making it.

I'm going to try and get a hornsound and enginesound from its tests when I'm over there. Hopefully, that can be my contribution.
