a steamy F at Western Springs

For readers in Auckland next Sunday: "This Sunday is one of the biggest Live Days of the year for our team. We’ll have all 5 steam locomotives in steam for the day- Y542, F180, L507, Bertha and the Bagnall- as well as the Fowler traction engine, the Wallis and Steevens roller, the Marshall portable engine and the Cochranette stationary boiler.

"As part of our preparations for the day we have F180 in steam tonight to test the lubricator after some repairs. The locomotive is also sporting new whistle levers in the cab, replacing the later style whistle cords which were previously in use.

"Come along and see us on Sunday for a fun day of steam and trains! Gates open at 10:00 am"

The EMU is one of the later deliveries from English Electric rather than the original batch from 1938. In conjunction with the development of the Johnsonville Mall in the 1980s, the station area was sold and a new halt/station built about 50 meters to the south.
