Da 1431 brought more than 350 passengers from Wellington to Waiouru for a visit to the QEII Army Memorial Museum and on to Ohakune. The trip was possibly the last chance for people to see a whole train in the original NZR colours (with Da class striping) as NZR's rail carriages are all being progressively painted blue.
