December already! It must be time for another issue of The Linesider.

This has started arriving in the mailboxes of our subscribers, but could take another week to appear in shops and retail outlets. For unspecified reasons our shipment was lost inside a transport company warehouse for six days - I knew we should have posted this by rail. But, another great reason to subscribe!

This issue includes Glen Anthony and DXR 8007 in Otira, Bill Cowan in the Catlins, Timothy Marsland-Smith and David Sauvegeon in the Rimutaka Tunnel, and the Ship Formerly Known as Aratere in Cook Strait.

Guest stars include GWRC chair Daran Ponter, who has made the new lower North Island passenger rolling stock a reality, and Rt Hon Winston Peters, the Minister for Rail.

Fancy a test drive of The Linesider NZ railway magazine before you subscribe?

We are now available in many more stores across the nation, including many Whitcoulls shops.

If your local magazine purveyor doesn't stock it, tell them they can now order it through ARE Direct (formerly Gordon and Gotch).

If you are at a loose end around Christchurch tomorrow night, Wednesday 27 August, I'll be presenting tales and photos from chasing steam locos in China between 2004-17.

Wednesday 27 August, 7pm, Sydenham Community Centre, 25 Hutcheson Street, (off Colombo Street near the Brougham St corner). If you've not been to one of these before, bring a fiver or some coins for the supper and hall hire.

Issue 21 of The Linesider (Spring/Sept 2025) is running a little ahead of schedule and will start arriving into subscriber mailboxes over the next few days. It should be popping up at retailers next week.

In this issue, Dave Simpson brings us pictures and stories of Waikato coal and the Mission Bush steelworks, and we look at the C class hoppers were built to serve that mill. There is photographic coverage of recent heritage action, and updates on two new KiwiRail loco classes - the DM diesel-electric, and the upcoming DSH battery hybrid.

It's never too late to subscribe! https://linesider.railsoc.org.nz/
