Weka Pass Railway - English Electric Showcase 2018 (HD)

On Saturday 6th October 2018, the Weka Pass Railway & the Diesel Traction Group joined forces and operated a special English Electric motive power themed day with 5 different locomotives, built by the English Electric Co. for the New Zealand Railways in action. This was the biggest live display of English Electric locomotives in operation in New Zealand Railway Preservation. Held as a tribute to the Diesel Traction Group and their completion of their restoration on Di 1102 earlier this year, highlights through the day included Di 1102 & Dg 772 in action, Dg's 791 & 770 on a goods train, DE 1429 on special shunting duties, plus the ultimate unlikely to be repeated 4 loco lash-up to Waikari. Enjoy the sweet, unique and beautiful sounds of English Electric at full noise!
