I only have limited recollection of steam running- mainly specials around
the time of the Centenary, and the Penguin-Wynyard Centenary run.  Most
steam train activity was limited to playing on Dubs 6 on Hilder Parade where
it was left to rust- it was great to be on a special drawn by Dubs 6 to
Ridgley last year... I took my box brownie on that trip, but was too young
to know how to use it :)
