Rhys Batchelor's model of an A class loco in S. This is a nice scene on an old Batchelor clan layout.

My big S scale DX 5195 was equipped with fibre optic lighting. Here is a shot taken against Wellington harbour. Good idea, but requiring a tad more depth of field. 1990

In my Dunedin university hostel room in 1989 I assembled a small S diorama. What a geek.

In the hostel room again in 1988.

Dunedin's Otago Model Engineers layout in 1989 before it aquired trees. The twin S DXs on the beautiful brass viaduct belong to Ken Devlin of Dunedin.

The Hutt Valley layout in 1990 with some of my locos and wagons.

And again

And again. Here the DBR and two DXs head down the grade on the branch.

A layout at the Page 90 gathering at Porrirua. This is a nice model of an old English Electric DF. I'm not sure who owns this loco. These 1500hp 2-co-co-2 locos were NZ's first 'mainline' diesel electric power in the mid fifties. They were not a great success, and the original order of 31 locos was cut down to just 10 locos with the balance being made up in 750 hp DG locos.

And speaking of which... here are two of the 42 1955 DG locos now. These lasted longer than the DFs, but were all withdrawn by 1984. 10 recieved new cabs in the years around 1980 which are the ones i have modelled in S and NZ120. Not my loco or layout

At the same layout, my familiar trio of NIMT power head around the curve.
