Thank you for this video!! My Grandfather was a fireman on 428 back when it was a work horse on the West Coast.

Great Video, I remember the weka pass railway, in fact i remember the crossing at Waikari still being open in the late 80's early 90's thanks for sharing

[@Melzmum]

How I wish I'd known about this. I'd have been on it!

I've never been to the Weka Pass but I would love to go there but now we lost a great steam loco! see you back in 2033! A 428 was a great steam loco

[@WeaponKingNZ]

...is that really the time frame for return to steam?

[@RollestonRails]

@@WeaponKingNZdepends on funding and the time that is required to overhaul it

[@TFSfanboy]

its an estimate, i heard its overhaul will last 10 years if not im not sure

[@RollestonRails]

@@TFSfanboy yeah

[@reneastle8447]

@@TFSfanboy Good thing there's always new ideas to reduce the overhaul timeline from years to months.

[@RollestonRails]
