Well that’s killed it, was a nice story.
Did my time as a Fitter in the old NZR Addington Workshops, enjoyed my time at the Ensors Road Loco depot and Addington Loco repair and overhaul workshops but to much of an old mans home for me. Worked on some big arse machinery, was an excellent place to do a trade.

Brother in law told me of his time in loco workshops doing electrical apprenticeship first day on job was told to pick up some big-arsed compacitor and put it on the bench, unit had been charged with a zillion volts, when he picked it up it discharged and put him in bed for a month...staff were told to stop playing that joke on newbies.
