Turntable Arrives at Ferrymead.
The center piece for the round house - a 70 foot turntable (New Zealand's largest turntable big enough to turn a K,Ka,Kb class loco) gifted by KiwiRail has now arrived on site and fund raising will commence to get the pit made and get it installed in place. This now puts in perspective just how large the roundhouse will be.
