Model this:

I had the pleasure of working with a railroad fan (not into modeling just yet) from New Zealand. He showed me the Raurimu Spiral on the web. Makes me want to fly down there to ride around it (among other things).
It would be a very cool and interesting thing to model, only New Zealand Railways isn’t that popular and I’ve already commited myself to a layout.
Good Luck to anyone who does!
Kewl!
There are enough freelancers and train-runners out there. Someone will do it.
That would make a good logging route.
My local NZR modelers, it’s an Sn3.5 gauge layout modular.

If you go S scale, modeling New Zealand is no problem. Some the finest Kits i’ve purchased are those produced by New Zealand firms of local prototypes, other S manfactures could learn from them.

i’m guessing a flying survey was done by balloon ?
it would make a neat layout , and tunnels , trains looping over themselves etc. that we accept due to space restrictions would be quite prototypical
