New Zealand 1986-87

Bay of Islands Scenic Rail

Between Opua and Kawakawa

When I got there, J1211 (built 1939 at the North British Locomotive Works, Springburn) was gone — to expensive to run on a short, low-speed line, and the alternative steam loco was in bits. So, just a Drewry diesel shunter.
