NZ Steam - Full Noise

Love the one with 942s whistle echoing off the mountains of the southern alps

what wonderful nostalgia and memories of catching expresses at Owhanga in the middle of the night.

The Firemen on most of these locos really knew their trade...Steam with a touch of Grey Smoke...perfect Fire for maximum coal burning efficiency. Anytime one sees Black, thick smoke, that is unburnt coal going to waste... Qld. 3'6" Steam fan.

Some brilliant shots , nothing better than a steam loco working hard

the full sound is music to the ears

That was awesome. I'm from Newcastle Australia. And that 2-4-2 tender engine K88 well I remember reading a story of how she was rescued. It was great to see and hear her work and she looked great.

Magnificent, thanks for sharing these beautiful clips.

Thanks for the memories. Many years ago when I was a kid in Shannon I would cling to the platform posts while the express blasted through the station 6ft away & in the summer we would stand on the Otara bridge & see who was the last one to jump into the river, that was always me. Nothing has changed except my age.

What a treat for the eyes and ears! Thank you.

Wow! What a great set of clips. I can close my eyes and HEAR myself there.

A Great performance showing the power of steam and a credit to those who maintain these Locos & carriages.

Takes me back to my childhood in a little town in the Sth Island named Kaiapoi, where the main line north to Picton was a mere 250 m away. The strongest memory is of the Cabbage Train, which ran overnight from Christchurch to Picton carrying (mainly) freight, but had facility in the modified guards van (a combo arrangement) for the few passengers who could tolerate the slow journey. One had to take one's own pillow if any sleep was anticipated. That train stopped almost everywhere there was a small station, and goods of every description were offloaded for rural communities, or loaded for transfer further north.

Excellent clips, thanks for sharing them. The first part of the number 1 clip was definitely my favorite.

Such a PRIMO compilation!!! So many great shots and as for the sound... WIKKD!!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!

That clip was a pleasure to watch, great to see those trains thundering past, thanks for making the clip.

The spiral sequence is awesome, what a brilliant capture, even though it was dark.

Powerfully evocative. I was on the 2008 NIMT memorial run. All the more impressive when you consider that 942 was not well (It turned out that no one had properly closed the smokebox door,), and 1271 was doing most of the work, with two men firing.

So much fun watching these trains!, they sound so cool!!

Fantastic video, absolutely brilliant, well done.

Makes one wonder where our ability to manufacturing could be after viewing these be beauties ❤️
