When I was at Whangarei boys high school ( many years ago!!!) I remember watching these 2 'lose their feet' on the grade heading north out of town on a frosty morning. It took 2 more attempts before they got the train up the hill. Neat sound. This was 1983. They were noisy back then but that was real music. A big thank you and 'awesome restoration'.

Great to see preservation activities like this being accomplished in NZ. Much respect from Australia 🇦🇺🇳🇿 These locos sure have got a good growl to them. Are they EMD's or GE's?
I've ridden behind 1254 and 4818 in the past; I used to take the commuter train in Auckland before it was electrified, and 4818 headed my trains on occassion.
Great work Finn! The video tells a story and is much more than a series of lazy, static camera shots taken off a platform or by a level crossing with a tripod. This video shows thought and skill with well composed shots and not just a 3/4 frontal view.
Captain Yank&Bank 1295 is operational and is used quite frequently on the GVR for things ranging from shunting duties to special events. However she is in need of a proper overhaul before she heads out on the main line

nothing beats the sound of 2 stroke V8 EMD engines

She is an EMD. Look up the story of the NZR Db/Dbr class.
@@bigkiwimike many thanks for that 😁
