On Tuesday 30th June we took delivery of two new vehicles. AG239 ( a power & viewing van) and A3022 (56' ex first class car A1975). Both are privately owned and had been leased to Dunedin Railways. Sadly with the unfortunate recent mothballing of Dunedin Railways and limited storage space for them in Dunedin a new home was required. We will be the custodians of these vehicles for the immediate future. Next year after our re-certification process for them has been completed we hope to utilise them on some of our excursions. On some trips this will increase the outdoor viwing area, provide more table seating and for the first time provide mains power to some of our carriages allowing us to consider future heating.
