Here's my DF6133 contribution.

I took the standard white metal kit, added a host of brass extras, motorised dynamic brake fan, TCS 6 function decoder, and mated it to a North Yard mechanism and some paint and hey presto.

Photo on the BBQ table, another shot on the layout showing the lights etc.

And lastly, DF6133 dropping into Picton on the Christchurch to Picton (return) passenger. Date would be around the mid eigthies.

Enjoy.
