Just a different view of the Twins and a couple of DC's starting a heavy train, obviously hard work.

Hello Jamie,
Firstly you will need a hosting account such as Imageshack. Upload your screenshots to Imageshack etc. then open up your reply to thread and click on the insert image icon. Then copy and paste the link from Imageshack into the pop-up box and then it should appear in your post.

This is my technique anyway, there may be an easier way.

Hello all,
I have a query about the EO set. As I am not in Wellington I can't find out my self. :(

Which servicies do the EO sets run up to Plimmerton and back?

Thanks for any help,
nzms
 
Hi nzms,

The Eo sets only run from Upper Hutt to Wellington and return. They are temps. only being used until the Maitangi units get going.
I don't know what they are going to do with the locos when this service finishes but I do know the coaches will be going back to their owners, Kiwi Rail is leasing them.

Cheers,

Thanks for that Bill69,
I heard a rumor that they may be used as bankers on the Paekakariki hills after leaving commuter service.

Fender, hope you're travelling well in Christchurch.

Hi Ryan,
I am fit and well, my house has sustained moderate structural damage, but is still livable, so I consider myself one of the lucky ones. It fells like a luxury to have both power and water back on! Unfortunately, my main "Trainz" computer has decided to quit - this just adds insult to injury - although I don't think its demise was earthquake related, just coincidental. I hope to be back into 3D modelling for Trainz soon.
Cheers,
Fender :)

...

Now that is good news to hear. We have been worrying about you. :confused:

Here in Greymouth (for those not in the know, some 400 kilometres away on the other siadeof the island) I experienced a long and entertaining ride when the quake struck - up, out of my seat like a cork and under a doorframe whilst the house rocked and rolled.

As soon as it was over I was onto the 'net to see what the story was - 'though in my heart I knew it was Christchurch.
 
That's good to hear Fender. I'm sure I speak for everyone when Isay we were all very worried. Don't feel pressured to get back into Trainz modelling straight away, I'm sure there are a few more important things on you to-do-list right now.

Ryan
