Isn't she a beauty ? Our local Steam & Rail Restoration Society had this magnificently maintained D16 on loan for today and it was busy for hours happily hauling passengers. It is 55 years since it last ran these tracks so it really was a special occasion.If you are interested you can read about her HERE - since she came to New Zealand from Glasgow in 1878, her retirement in 1970 and then her restoration.

It is good they restored it for future generations to enjoy LE.
Great vantage point.

A "gleaming" steam engine alone is an unusual sight. Nostalgia pure.

A nice profile to go along with the colour and detail.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

A camera didn't make a great picture anymore than a typewriter wrote a great novel. (Peter Adams)
