Feilding Flyer
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.14 дней назад
The Feilding Flyer, is another side excursion run by Steam Incorporated as part of Wanganui's vintage weekend, unfortunately the fire risk was raised overnight and was considered a little too risky having Ja 1271 leading, so Dc 4818 came along for the ride and was swapped over at Ruatangata so as the Dc could lead, it was just too dry south of Turakina and the grade 1271 would have to climb. 19...

Beautiful country side. I love ❤ this train.
Great footage. Gorgeous locomotive. Thank you for sharing
Hi Zane. Long time viewer, First time caller. This is a great overview of an enjoyable weekend. We were fortunate to have bright clear and warm days. We are so lucky in Whanganui to be geographically close to the major mainline steam and heritage rail operators such as Steam Inc. We must surely get just as much heritage trains here as the best of them on the NZ network. Imagine trying to be a video-railfan in New Plymouth or Whangārei or Invercargill?
@MarkSeconi Yes, would be difficult and one would have to go further afield, something we don't have to do.
Steamers never get old😉
This guy has just been posting train videos for 19 years. I admire the dedication.
@Siegfriedclassical Thankyou for your comment, appreciated, I hadn't realized it had been that long, lol.
neat video
neat video
neat footage: i turned the volume up on the stereo
Interesting detail the toe of that points blade is getting a bit worn.... Wonder how long they let them go?? 387 net tonnes of milk solids at $10 a kg. Gotta be worth the cost of special freight all season.
Nice capture there Zane. Nice change from CPOS. 😂😂
That locomotive looks like the SLR class m2
Nice video. It would be great to see J1211 running on the mainline again one day.
Why run diesel when the track is electrified?
It's a heritage excursion, that's why.
Truss Me I know what I'm doing.
#4818 looking fresh and now has mainline certification. Expect more mainline excursions with #4818
What happened to the wooden carriages
My my, how times have changed 😁 although "we" have been chasing diesel hauled passenger excursions for a while now...😁 A Dc and a Dbr...👍
Gotta get yourself a fluffy for your microphone
Such dedication, videoing in the rain 😊 The tanks are full of milk?
@bnrailfannz8262 yes, tanks are full of milk, I went prepared, so the rain wasn't too much of a bother.
The Kai Iwi passing loop was briefly removed then reinstated?
Many people back then when the Toshiba electric locomotives at Otira were introduced and then the Silver Fern, would have thought what a modern and ahead of its time these locomotives/railcars were. The Japanese were ahead of their time.
I remember seeing this video many years ago It's good to see it still exists. Even the verbal audio came back to mind. I did this trip back in 2000. Well worth doing.
Beautiful footage of Main Trunk 1271. That cool steam locomotive all the way in New Zealand.
Great video, yes it blows like that all over NZ, but worth the effort!
Great spot for videoing trains. I imagine a lot of the trains run from the Fonterra dairy factory at Whareroa?
Where does the siding off the loop lead to? Private siding maybe?
@philiphunt2313 it's a back shunt.
@zanegracie39 I have been along that line, last time 1985!
Two of those awful Dl's. Hope we don't get them in the S. Island to tide us over before the Dm's arrive.
It was the brakes applied to bring the train to a halt.
Had a few trips behind DBR1254. Glenbrook run a good set up.
Great sound
enjoyed that
I was standing part way up on the raurimu spiral, it was just on dusk, the train pulled in at the bottom, I heard a man yelling, I think he yelled "2 minutes!!!" A bunch of people leapt out, took photos and then he yelled "Back on!!!" and they all jumped back on. Then those 2 engines, they opened them right up. I remember the ground shaking as they tore up that mountain. An unforgettable memory.
Thanks for sharing this. After doing the Tongariro Crossing, I took this great train from National Park back to Auckland on a school trip in the 80s. The food was great, and the seats were comfortable after enduring a tent. Happy days, but what a loss to NZ.
3:03 good to see the evening Northerner Express passenger train! That commentator wasn't entirely accurate, a fully laden Northerner could be built up to 16 total if you count the FP-class (ex-Z-class) bogie postal wagons and ZP-class bogie parcels wagons. Thank you, Zane for uploading this piece of NZR history!
I remember taking this trip in about 1980. Absolutely state of the art for me back then! My old dad even wore a suit!
*Promosm*
This is wonderful footage, thank you for posting it! I just did the 2024 Spiral Express with GVR and DRB 1254, was a magnificent experience through the heart of our North Island. Cheers!
this. train. is. the. tangiwai. but. not. desaster
Let’s see how it does it please
Love the setup i have a turner stationary haypress and really want a frick or baker steam tractor
Interesting baler and nice Video 👍🏼
Would be better with audio explaining the situation......
it does have audio.
@@zanegracie39 But the audio is not aimed at the listerner and does not explain the situation. Newly refurbished electric locos for a railway that would seemingly prefer not to use them. Will they be used I wonder?
If i had a better editing programme, i could dub an audio comment onto it, but i don't unfortunately
Wonder where all those model trains are, used for this ad at 23:00
nice recap
Fantastic video my friend ! Have a nice weekend 🤩🤩👍👍
I hope you've had a good one too Rodrigo 🙂
Very nice video, big like 👍
What is the model of this locomotive, my friend?
I'm glad to see this happening, as Kiwi Rail has been rather pro diesel. Probably too much to hope for, but it would be great to see the wires go all the way from Auckland to Wellington.
I was trying work out if this would have been the last time 1410 came to the Taranaki?
Our Swiss Air Force had over 200 Venoms, flown primarily by militia pilots. In the 1970s they mostly flew low over the landscape, apparently just above the treetops and house roofs and in all weathers for their mission against a ground target! Sometimes one wondered how they managed to fly among the low-lying clouds and hills. Great respect from these pilots!
good video. nice and long train. greetings
What a beautiful train... I had never seen it before. thanks for the video. greetings
