Mainline Steam Trust's Christchurch Depot (HD) 

Good introduction to Mainline Steam CHCH. Visited the Paikakariki depot during my holiday in 2010, it's a very welcoming organisation, as was the case at most other railway preservation sites we visited in NZ. Have to agree with the music making it a bit difficult to understand what is said (especialy for those not being native english speaking), the music has not to disapear completely, but muting it down a bit helps, or otherwise using a clip on microphone will enhance audio greatly when doing interviews, background noise and echo are almost completely eliminated with these. These with a cord can be picked up really cheap, wireless ones are more expensive, but give freedom of movement, important when you have to frame the person with locomotive in the background.

Can't hear for the music

Great stuff mate! Very cool to see what the SI MLS workshop is getting up to. Perhaps someone up here at Plimmerton ought to do that!!! AJ.

Wish that is a lot of precious stuff! Especially the steam trains!

cool thanks. ive often wondered where these things live. was there music playing? I was to interested in what he was talking about haha. im gunna watch it again and listen better. ...

I miss the location in parnell

968 would look great on the point of a double header with 942.

Awesome stuff

Thanks for great of the depot

Would have been a brilliant video without the music.!!!

I hope 843 keeps its livery

the Steampuk Fell off the top

Sound mix is all wrong. Turn the music down.

Why do the Australian locomotives look so British While the new Zealand locomotives look so American? It's cool though.

From watching other videos of Ka942 thats the orginal look that its got now in the front sort of triangle face, it had or normal steam engine g face just like the K900 sitting at Motat in Auckland. K900 should be restored rather than sit and do nothing people want to see them move not sit this is including DA 1400

What's with that stupid music, just obliterates anything being said.

Dislike oil fired locos. KA942 looks better without the streamlining. Music is annoying!
