Ford Model T rail car, RM 4. Replica built up from the original NZR plans - 2 were built by NZ railways in 1925, ran for a few years on 2 Southland branch lines, replacing passenger trains, not successful and were scrapped by 1931.
Above and below: Tr 18, towing D 16, steam locomotive & carriages.
Just a note: I've also added ten more photos by Bryan to the Christchurch Trams post.
What a brilliant railway. Great admiration for the work done by so many volunteers. A must to visit for any railfan or tourist. Good on you Bryan. Mike
