Gentlemen, I thank you all for your thoughts. cvkiwi, I hope your parents have not suffered at all and home is safe. Regards my "Trainz" computer, it is still not fixed, I am down but not out, for I can still use my on-line older computer to carry on with some aspects of 3D modelling. Here is a sneak preview of last weeks work - the passenger interior of the FP Matangi set.
Cheers, Fender :)

William, a nice gesture to share the DSG. I don't know if it's just me or not, but computer says no - the link has been disabled. I just want to hear your horn because I've made my own for the fruit salad version of this loco.

whoops. fixed.

The horn is one of my older ones (along with this reskin) so nothing special...

Passing the now-closed station of Muri (~30/4/11). A shame, really. That was a good train watching location in real life...

After driving the 16.25hrs Y service to Featherston, I miraculously made it back to WLG in time to run the 18.02hrs J'ville unit. A little squishy with only 2 cars, but, meh. Anyway, just after crossing a down unit at Wadestown, we see our train between tunnels 4 & 5

And finally, awaiting the buzzer to depart from Simla Crescent

A Spot of Shunting

A little shunting around WLG station area with a couple of William's DSG's.

Pulling loaded wagons towards the wharves with our newest loco...

A little later on, one of the older DSG's pulls some empty wagons back to the yard

Passing the stack of logs on the other side of Waterloo Quay to the station, heading to the Container Wharf

After the blue unit finished at the wharf, it headed back to the loco depot where it found itself put to bed next to it's classmate for the first time

The first really good parallel run I've managed to get departing Wellington Throat, on the Capital Connection. Pity Control let the unit head through the Tawa tunnels first as we were in the process of overtaking it at this point

Another signal check at the end of the double track at Waikanae as a subbie heads back to town.

Great shots

Hi Ryan,

I am always amazed at the accuracy of your shots of the Wellington region.

Are these covered wagons available somewhere?

Cheers,
Bill

ryanmcc201105040005.jpg
 
Thanks Bill

The wagons are available, I saw them advertised on this forum. I use 3 types for NZ trains. The kuids are:

252392:6878
252392:8394
252392:8358

The website I got them from is below
http://trainworks.eu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=105&t=933

Well worth looking through the site IMHO.

Nice shots lately everybody. Good to see the thread alive and well.

Ryan

BTW, the construction teams have gathered in Featherston this morning in preparation for extension of the Wairarapa Line to Masterton.
 
Nice scene

Hi Johnstrains "Passing over Whakatu Freezing Works heading to Wellington" - this is nice scenery, keep up the good work. Nice pics from Ryan McC, mrrangi and NZMS also. C'mon New Zealand.
Cheers, Fender :)

I had the pleasure of travelling on Ka 942 today:

Featherston to Masterton Part 1

Morning all

This morning, the first train in about 4 years (and 2 versions of Trainz) arrived in Masterton, thus completing the 'TranzMetro' network.

The 5 car service is hauled by DC 4219.

ryanmcc201106020004.jpg

A green signal to depart Featherston. Due to the distance to the next signal (Masterton), this signal originally didn't clear, so for the first time, I've had to use invisible signals at the TWC locations.

Heading uphill to the Tauherenikau River, the DC struggled to get over 80kph

Departing Woodside, the former Junction with the Greytown Branch

Matarawa

The 1879 built Carterton station building, still in use. The oldest operational station building in NZ. The yard area has been preserved by a local group, and features old rollingstock, a goods shed, loading bank & the old Waingawa station building...

Another former station site - Clareville

After passing the Masterton Saleyards at Waingawa, we cross the road and see the JNL Siding off to the right, still an important source of freight for rail
