A story in the Nz Herald that they are considering building locos in New Zealand .
Most likely this will be in the form of rebuilding old locos , although where they will source them from is another question .
certainly the hillside work ofrce are skilled and experienced enough to do it . They will need to increase the numbers of workers though .

From what ive read on local boards , toll is having to scrape together anylocos that will run , to keep the current traffic running , now there is quite large increases in traffic on the way .
