More and more "Made In China" keeps showing up every day, and today was no exception. We had our first IAB come in, and while the paint looks familiar, the design is something very different from the more traditional locally made stuff. Below is a slideshow of snapshots taken today... And this post could not be complete without a couple of random photos... 
An old poster we found a while back...
Old tampers in the back road at Palmy many moons ago.

AH did you guys not have to go thru the training and familiarization of these new wagons before they entered srvice like the other depots did?

Steve, we had a Hillside built IAC sit here for some time while we were all put through our 13 page wagon familiarisation sessions, but this is the first time an IAB has come in. I think the company has deemed the two classes identical? Will have to dig out my IAC wagon guide again.

Steve, we had a Hillside built IAC sit here for some time while we were all put through our 13 page wagon familiarisation sessions, but this is the first time an IAB has actually been consigned to Whareroa, and I think the company see the two wagon classes as identical.
