It's OK, we get aus.rail as well. I only wish we got uk.rail as well.
There were a number of EE locomotives here. In fact, prior to the GM
imports they were pretty much all EE. including some that looked like
miniature class 20s. These were built in England, as were the original
Wellington EMUs (replaced by Ganz-Mavag units). There were also some 1500v
DC Electric locos in Wellington and Christchurch which I think were built
by EE. I'll see what reference material I have and post a list. There were
also some Dsc shunters built by B.T.H. which wasn't part of EE at the
time, but now is part of GEC-Alsthom, along with EE.
