1980s New Zealand Railways EF locomotive ad *REMADE*
Attempt at a remake of the 1980s NZ Railways EF Locomotive ad with the modern day branding and the overhauled EFs in the new 'electric blue' livery.
The original ad was advertising the newly brought Class 30s or EF Locomotives and the electrification of the NIMT between Palmerston North and Hamilton.
The shots are mine.
The audio was taken from this video:

And the book they delivered I have in my Rail Book Collection . And a good remake .
Cool drone footage following the route of a large freight train hauled by three KiwiRail locomotives big and small! It looks like you manage to produce wonderful New Zealand train videos that tell stories. Nice work!
Now history with both Pulp Mill and Sawmill closed!
@peterfinucane8122 Yeah, unfortunately 😕
Love it love it love it!!
@@brightstarboi Thanks!
What a cool idea, the music is really fitting as well.
Nice 80s soundtrack 👍
Absolutely fantastic. Thank you.
@possom69donselaar89 Glad you Enjoyed!
Nice historical capture 💯
That done shot from Mechanic's Bay was a real beauty. Perfect day for a chase too.
👍 Some rare footage
@ 00:07 I think you should have dubbed in some sound of the Millennium Falcon here 😁
DBRs 4LYFE
Learning all these place names I've never even heard of before 🤔
Must do this one year. Looks hugely popular though.
Excellent video. How many km's do you recon you clocked chasing KiwiRail trains now? 🤔
Eating KFC. Watching KiwiRail Spotter™ videos
Are the dairy shunts still in service? Wasn't there a problem with long-end leading?
Excellent video. National Park is the ideal backdrop.
Love the Te Huia livery
21:59 That turbo charger spooling up and down 🤤👌
Beautiful steam train. 16:15 Sweet shunter too
Those EF's are jolly noisy
I'd hope this have all been tarted up in KiwiRail electric blue by now?
11:14 Get out of the shot!
31:43 Ever been tempted to capture footage while looping the drone under & over the bridge? 😉
There they go...
17:27 That's really good wide shot. Very snake like DLs 😉
Excellent Video @KiwiRailSpotter
Great footage!
Nice!
Which was better for rail fanning, Dunners or CHCH? I like he dark bit on the top of the nose? of the loco. Wonder if it's that grippy stuff to walk on, or to help cut down on glare (like vintage aircraft with an unpainted fuselage)? 27:10 That's a cool shot 👍
Was it good rail fanning in CHC? Would the drivers/ KiwiRail allow you to stick a goPro like camera to get some in-cab footage to supplement your tripod & drone footage? Just a thought.
What I'd call a Pushmi-pullyu configuration (see Dr. Doolittle) That EF is freakin' sweet too. 11:42 Oooh, what's that?
Nice. Looking forward to a 2024 best of compilation in 4K. 8:35 4 x EF! Got to be some sort of record.
🤚🖐
Tongariro National Park is an ideal place for filming and rail fanning 👌
That is a tidy looking shunter along for the ride.
2:54 Alright! 🤚🖐 Was that a toot for you @KiwiRail Spotter 20:21 😍
Shiny EFs 🍆 ~5:52 😮 superb footage
Some very nice drone shots
Beautifully restored DA loco & carriages. I think I vaguely remember seeing this class or similar operating on the Auckland line way back when as a boy. Excellent work with drone & tripod @KiwiRail Spotter
50 years! Quite a feat.
Nice video. Besides storage, are there any plans for the carriages?
@FranktheTank-bk8me Thanks! To be restored for Mainline and railway Operations, I imagine
Hey there, KiwiRail Spotter! Glad to see you again! How are you doing these days? I am doing great. I am also glad to see train footage on your channel once again. This video about the KiwiRail Work Train 20 shows interesting maintenance train footage as it passes by. It looks fabulous. Excellent work, and keep it up!
Thank you for your work. Enjoyable to watch
@malcolmyeates8212 Thanks, man glad you enjoyed it!
The twp SD cars what are they? Are they powered cars the cabs at the front seem to indicate that.
@MerleDoughty-yw6cl Yes, they have driving cabs and a generator. I'm not sure if you know, but they were used on the old Auckland SA/SD push-pull trains run under MAXX Transport.
It's like stock going to the freezing works isn't it? 🫣
Great watch in U.K. - thank you.
@@ChrisJBrady Glad you enjoyed!
Should be of particular interest to you seeing as these are ex BR carriages rebuilt almost beyond recognition. Like to know what they will be used for now. Too good to waste.
@cathybrind2381 Will be stored until they're fixed up for mainline excursions and what not. Not too much work to be done from what I know, but still a lot.
More of clean up to me shouldn't take long@@KiwiRailSpotter
I'm originally from Piriaka mid 1960's, (south of Taumarunui) having been a former Rail Employee from Wanganui. Absolutely love the scenic view from this video footage. Unbelievable, the state of those carriages being hauled by that locomotive is a disgrace. Kiwi Rail needs a kick in the backside for abandoning these carriages in Taumarunui, and to allow them to decay and be vandalised.
