A. & G. Price E type 111/1923 at the Bush Tramway Club, from a day out with @faemorningstar.

New to Selwyn Timber Co of Mangatapu (nowadays, a suburb of Tauranga), it had a short history with them of only 6 years. It sat unused for another 6 years before being sold to Ellis and Burnand Ltd at Mangapēhi.

It spent 8 years at Mangapēhi before being transferred to Ōngarue. It was withdrawn by 1958, and sold to the Bush Tramway Club later on.

In 2013 it was given a minor cosmetic overhaul (see below)

(Pictured in 2021)

It is sadly way down on the restoration list, but even in its cosmetically overhauled state, it is still the most complete Price E type in existence. The E type is a mix of the Climax Class B and the Heisler.

Making a Mark

I just remembered the best thing to exist, SPOUSE ROOMS. Do you guys have them drawn out yet? We've seen the patios, but what about their rooms?

I APOLOGIZE FOR TAKING SO LONG TO ANSWER THIS... We did have spouse rooms drafted up but... Interior design is not my forte! I hated them. These are my ugly first drafts from months ago when I had no idea what to do.

I wanted to move away from the whole office/work room look and shift it more towards their hobbies. So of course they should have a model railroad somewhere. I put off actually attempting to sprite a model railroad until yesterday and I did nothing but work on them all the livelong day. I ended up with two different layouts because I hated the first one.

I tried basing the first off of the actual Stardew map and wanted to sprite their respective sides of the tunnel so I put off spriting it until I was done with Emmet's 8 heart event. But... that ended up being too hard to sprite in such a tiny area! I can hardly draw a train on it!

The perfectionist in me did not like it not making sense so they wouldn't like it either. The point of their railroad layouts is escapism into their perfect little world so I scrapped the first and made a new layout.

Now their spouse rooms look like this!

I played a bit with the floor layout to reference their Japanese names. With Ingo's/Nobori's you make your way upwards to a higher state! With Emmet's/Kudari's room, you descend into... wherever his mind's at.

I wanted both of their rooms to feel cozy (so even if the rest of the house is ugly at least they can stay in their room 🥲 I'm bad at furnishing and Stardew's options do not help). Ingo's was supposed to feel more secluded and well, tucked in... because he's ingoing. For Emmet's, I had the mental image of him running around, getting supplies for drawing/scrapbooking/etc. and leaving space to set up lighting/different angles when he takes pictures of his model railroad. Occasionally his back hurts and he has to lay down on the couch for a couple minutes. Or maybe you force him into a break there.

Ingo's room is more focused on being a quiet space for him to read or write. Emmet's is where he goes to keep his mind busy with his various occupations outside of work. The railroad layout is the same (I don't want to sprite a third...) but I imagine that Ingo's is around more for the ambiance while Emmet is more hands on and actively working on maintaining it.

The trains are animated, too! I made the layout with animation in mind.

I did lose track of what I was doing despite that. It took so many frames to animate. I refuse to do that again.

I hope you like their spouse rooms!

DC 4594 and 4467 running light loco through Puhinui. (2022)

The days of DC Class/Clyde-EMD G22AR are sadly numbered. With a host of them awaiting export to South Africa in Te Whanganui-a-Tara.

Of course, this is the result of an ongoing modernisation program and the eventual arrival of the new Stadler built DM Class. Of these, a small number will be equipped with European Train Control System (ETCS) meaning that they will be able to run on the suburban network in Tāmaki Makaurau. But I will miss seeing them on the regular.
