The fantastic weather continued this week with an absolutely glorious day for the
return to NZ Standard Time.

Our mandatory cafe stop was at Sylvia Park.

The trains were at full steam ahead when we arrived at the MLS Headquarters.

A close-up of K^A 971 with its builder checking something out.
(As a matter of interest, there was no real K^A 971 - the K^As were numbered
up to 964, and 965 to 970 were K^Bs.)

Lunchtime.   There are a couple of bikes in the pic just to indicate that we did ride over
to Mangere.  Really - we did.

Caroll and Margaret could not resist taking a ride.
The loco is numbered A^O811 - a fictitious NZR class.
