Ha ha, the old railway jiggers. Had a few rides on them. Great times. Track inspections of each section of line by gangers preceding trains and railcars.

Kevin Oregan they were cool!! They could really zoom along or felt like they did..I loved it!Maybe where I got my love of speed from, motorbikes etc

George Colligan
Love the history

Hazel Oldham
Labour's sold the rainwater to one Micheal Faye he stripped them of their worth then sold them back to the government. Yet labour's supporters who lost their jobs stayed loyal. Go figure.

Wendy Bruce
Seeing a jigger is but a fond memory and a word that will likely disappear from our language very soon

Kevin Bell
Used to get a ride on one from my brother In law at Inangahua during the holidays.

Alan Smith
Yes I did the same job in the ngahere gang

Grant Freer
Alan Smith we had some fun on them but shit in the rain

Durham Pearce
Fun times with the Tones clan up country on Pearce property Matai.

Robyn Mainey
Durham Pearce great memories of you and your family at Matai. (Robyn Tones)

Durham Pearce
Robyn Mainey . Hey Robyn. Yes good times. I think I remember tones cooking up “taties” or something like that in hot oil for snacks over an open fire. I couldnt get enough

Robyn Mainey
Durham Pearce we used to throw them in the bonfire embers til they turned black then ate them with butter. Yummy... I still remember the old shed that housed all the furniture and all our names on the door. Plus your mum and dad were the best. Hope you are doing well.
