Hmmm, me either. Oh well. I'll have to make some more. Had a nice one this afternoon of a Ganz dropping down the upgraded Paekakariki Hill, but a power pole got in the way. Unlucky as most of the poles are now on the hill side!
Also, some very nice shots itsmrb.
Check the DLS for the QR 'B' class container wagon ng version by glt0145: KUID2:45335:15110:1 and QR 'BLM' class container wagon ng version, also by glt0145: KUID2:45335:15118:1.
They're 06 and 04 content respectively though, so I have no idea how well they'll work in TRS 10/12. Still, they're about the closest to what you're looking for.
Thanks Enkidoh, They're working like a dream, No faults/ no warnings/and no missing parts/ Proud to have them on my Railway, So as a treat here is the screenshot's of them on the test run. :Y:
Seen at Paekakariki.
Now in the cab going through Mackays crossing.
Seen at Otaihanga Level crossing.
Nice shots Mrrangi.

Back to town, exiting Tunnel 7 and stopping at Raroa
Waiting a cross at Ngaio
Back at Hutt Road
Passing the extensive Wellington Yards

Part 2
Shunting to the Stablng Sidings
Another journey starts
Now for a Ganz trip from Waikanae to town, with the 'new' Paekakariki Hill.
Feels a bit funny travelling through here at 65kph after so many years of 50kph
Obscene speeds around Tunnel 12!
Dropping off the flyover
That's all there is. Again, thanks to Fender for preserving these enduring machines in Trainz form.

Today I get to drive a Matangi to waikanae, Seen passing the unused Muri Station.
Now in the cab waiting for the all clear at Paraparaumu.
Crossing a Wellington bound Ganz unit at Otaihanga.
At Waikanae waiting in the loop for 221 to pass.
Later the same day, The Super Ganz coming out of the Waikanae Loop after waiting for another fright train.
That's all for now

The final day of EE's heading 'up the hill'.
A morning peak service waits time at Johnsonville. The passengers won't be sad these units are going, but I will be.
Away we go. The photographers were out in force all along the line to record my final run
Home. The end. As the passengers walk to the CBD, I can't help but doubt if the Matangi design will rule this line for another 73 years...

Final Day of JVL EE's: Part 2 - My First Matangi Run
By the evening, this had become the normal scene at Wellington station for a Johnsonville train traveller
A new scene through the trees for the residents of Raroa to get used to
From the footbridge as a comparison to this morning's image
That lady must have been keen to record history - she was there this morning and she's still there at 11pm!
Another comparison shot as we wait to return to town

Bill, that's been known to happen over here as well. Control - "Have you reveived right-away there, driver?" Driver - "No Control, why?" Control - "Because he's in a taxi trying to catch up to you as we speak". Pretty rare though, no wonder it made the news.
A trip down the hill this morning

Hi Bart, yes that is my plan to put it on the DLS at some stage, it only goes as far is Porirua to Waikanae at the moment. The Manawatu gorge is not on the route, I used a different route for that shot. Anyway do you know how to put content on trainzone? Cheers Mrrangi
