Ab 699's birthday;
Greetings All, In August 1922 A & G Price of Thames NZ delivered another new steam locomotive to the New Zealand Railways. It was of the Ab class numbered 699. Ab 699 served in both the North and South Islands before being sold, in 1968, to the newly formed Pleasant Point Museum and Railway and put on static display in memory of the closing Fairlie branch line. I think it was 1972 that 699 was returned to a steaming loco. Work also began relaying 3km of track (I remember spending hours doing that) and building a museum at Kaines Crossing. This society is one of New Zealands top railway museums, by vote of overseas and national tour parties.

NZ Rail AB Class Locomotive running in Pleasant Point, Canterbury, New Zealand. The engine had lost most of it's braking and is coming in much faster than usual. This is a 1922 engine that was built at A&G Price Engineers at their Thames Workshop in New Zealand and is a pacific class running on a 3' 6 gauge.
This engine is run on wood so there isn't so much smoke.
