Glad you like the video - I've loaded another one from Watati Otago last night.

I have several to come, including a triple headed DFT passing through Oamaru at night

I'm informed that the brown car is from the Ocean Beach Railway that was used during the Middlemarch Rail Festival. It's being used to complement TGR's carriage fleet especially during the very busy cruise ship charters when there is a huge demand for additional carriages.
