Magnificent video. The loco seemed to be performing very well. It is a long time since I travelled on the Main Trunk Line- once on the Silver Star and back on the Silver Fern (that shows how long ago), although I did not see much of the beautiful scenery on the Silver Star, it being a night sleeper. On my most recent visit to NZ, I had hoped to video some trains on the Main Trunk Line, but did not see any at all. We even stayed overnight in Ohakune, and stopped at a café alongside the line.
Youve taken some marvellous 'shots' there. 8:34 { storming South under SH4 was awsome}. Good to see the passengers being able to get out and see the train working in a run-by👍
Even though the carriages would have never have been that clean, or in that combination in NZR days, same with the locomotive too, she would never had operated in the North Island.

Good stuff Finn, great coverage on the spiral, drone and gopro certainly add interest and a different perspective compared to just lineside shots.
Nice footage, good to see an authentic rake of carriages rather than some of the more colourful creations often seen behind steam specials!

When I was a kid I used to travel on the spiral on a jigger with the linesman,no names no packdrill……aaah ,those were the days.
Chur you could make a great tourism advert out of this footage
6:32 That turbogenerator is loud.
Steam locomotive engineers must have ended up deaf as fence posts
