CENTRE OF ATTENTION: A double-header steam train brought 300 steam enthusiasts into Ohakune for an overnight stay on Saturday, hauled by J1234 and J1211. Pictured is J1234 being loaded with more coal, while her oilfired sister sits behind. The two engines arrived in Taumarunui early Saturday morning as separate trains, one from Wellington and one from Auckland. They joined up for a run down to Taihape, stopping at Ohakune for lunch (and coal and water — courtesy Ohakune Volunteer Fire Brigade), then chugged back to Ohakune for the night. The MTRO turntable was again used to turn one of the locos for its return journey.
