This IS grande...top notch...no good saying it isn't! As youngsters in Ireland, we always loved it when they passed by at a leisurely rate, as it provided us a great chance to bounce a few ripe tomatoes off some of the pork-pie-faced blokes who stuck their mugs out the window/door openings. Blimey, what fun!
ok now im confused now on other videos ka942 looks completely different on the face but in this video it has this face so has it had any upgrades from its orginal look or something look for urself. Nice video by the ways.
Very good video of a great steam locomotive. The loco seems to have good acceleration and climbing ability similar to the BR 9f which managed to run at over 90 mph with a passenger train. What is the top speed of this loco ?
Realistically around 65-70mph, but, like all locos, some have, no doubt, run faster - only 4'6'' drivers remember - NZ locos are like miniature American locos - 3'6" gauge and tight limits. The J class could run 70-75mph and sometimes, a bit faster, no doubt.
The JA,s with light load could do 90--95mph, they frequently did 70--75mph on the Canterbury Plains pulling 'The South Island Express' later it became The Southern with DJ diesel locos, top speed 60mph MAX!
can't remember any ugly shroud on them when I was a boy travelling all over the country hauled by Ka's. First impression on viewing this was that was a different train.
It's slightly aerodynamic and it hides and protects the AFCI feedwater pumps, though they were removed in preservation so this was kept for the sake of preservation
Tres belles vidéos Loco Magnifique$.
942 does well on excursion trips around the country of New Zealand along some railroads.
Look at all that snow coming out of the funnel /
Beautiful views and videos
Beauty

Note the cars crossing after the train while the lights were still flashing and the arms were just going up. Shocking driving.
A common occurrence here in New Zealand unfortunately. We have some of the worst drivers in the developed world.
Personally I think the shroud on the front looks terrific it's funny how tastes differ
Really GR8 footage mate! Enjoyed it heaps.
Loved the pacing shots on highway 73
I've heard about this train trip and I'm going to do it very soon.
Very nice! Enjoyed that
7:41 a bit of wheelslip
awesome
Great work mate I would upload all that but I cant due to movie maker problems
Does the shrouding on the smokebox serve any functional purpose?
Conducter49 streamlining they tried after the war

Ask Aunty Helen.
It's just it's casing that some Ka' s were fitted after the war to hide their afci feedwater pumps but in preservation those were removed

8:57 what happened
A photo stop, they've let the passengers off, backed up and done a short run for folks to get their photos, then it stops to pick them back up again.
The guy at min. 4:50 was not being nice at all. Shame
What did he do?
@@peterwiremuormsby9383 He walked right in front of the person filming the train. At least in Europe this is an absolute no-go.
To many ding bats .
I'm Mexican
So anal is your forte??
Poor bugger
I wish they would scrap that bloody ugly shroud. It's hideous & I doubt it serves any useful purpose.

It’s funny how no one likes your comment
Your British locos can’t even get through one inch of show while our trains can easily cut through eight with no snow plow!
