Miniature Rails, Mcleans Island
A day out at Steam Scene, Mcleans Island at their miniature railway. The Steam train running on 3ft 61/2 was supposed to be running with the V price but this wasn't running due to the fire risk in the area. But still it was a great day out, the train on this day was an amtrak locomotive in the U.S.A, enjoy.

Mana Ariki Meet Up 2016
Photos of Mana Ariki Meet Up 2016:
Some Clips of the Mana Ariki Meet Up 2016. This was mostly taken on the Public Running Day as my camera deleted most of the videos from the Private Running. This might be the last ever footage of this track
Mana Ariki is 6 kilometers north of Taumarunui (A hour and a half west of Taupo). The track is 3 1/2 kilometers long, with 3 stops along the way. Around 2 kilometers of it is up hill, some parts are 1 in 50, and the last kilometer is 1 in 40 downhill grade. There are 2 tunnels and 4 bridges. During this weekend, there were around 10-12 trains running. It would take around 20-30 minutes to do one full lap of the track.
