| 671049 | 2008-05-20 07:44:00 | Over the pst few weeks I sware that I hear occasionally a steam train whistle on the south line south of Otahuhu. My mother inlaw swares she has heard it and says it's a freight loco with a steam train wistle rather than the normal air horn. Anyone comment or know.. |

| 671055 | 2008-05-20 23:01:00 | My suggestion would be to call the Glenbrook Vintage Railway. They have an office in Onehunga. You might like to call them on 636 9361. I think they keep office hours. If you find out, post their reply, please. |

| 671057 | 2008-05-21 01:49:00 | kenj, yes, still alive. In his 80's now. He was great. I loved his trick of driving through towns, (hundreds of miles from a railway track) playing his steam train passing by stuff through his tape amp and big speakers. Great stuff!! Used to wake up the natives. Ken |
