Glenbrook Vintage Railway – Country Festival – 4K

The Glenbrook Railway (New Zealand) hosted an outstanding Country Festival transporting us back in time to an era when life seemed more relaxed and the sun shone every day (rose tinted memories?). J Class No.1250 & W Class No.644 steam locomotives were in action hauling trains, whilst diesel power was provided by an English Electric locomotive No.8 that bore a strong resemblance to a British Class 20. An excellent array of vintage and veteran cars was on show along with tractors, farm machinery and even vintage steam boats. This event was a real credit to New Zealand preservationists, with extremely high standards maintained all round.
