Talk:NZR RM class (Red Terror)

We would like to add a photo. But all the photos we know of are still within copyright, and the railcar has not been preserved (in this form) so we can't take our own to show on this article.Vogel Era (talk) 08:45, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

"Non-railcars" referred to in NZ Parliamentary records

An editor looking at NZ parliamentary records erroneously concluded that, by 1925 NZR had 8 88-seat and 5 72-seat motor trains. These will be references to ordinary passenger carriages pulled by small steam locomotives. For example, NZR's first "motor train", which operated in the Hutt Valley, near Wellington, consisted of a D Class 2-4-0 tank engine pulling a 60 foot passenger carriage. This was a very small engine, with an unusually long carriage – at a time when most long distance and suburban passenger carriages were only 47 feet 6 inches long.

What's erroneous about it? The photo looks to me like a motor train. Johnragla (talk) 04:44, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
