Caption: Operators station on a pre-1952 LaPlant-Choate TS-300 with the seat removed for a better view. In those times there was no bleating that the air conditioning didn’t work as there wasn’t any! On the right-hand side, you can see the exposed Buda 6DAS-844 diesel and transmission gearshift with the two short bowl control levers above poking through holes in the hood. It must have been unbearably hot and noisy in the summer on one of these beasts⁣

The fifth round of the EPIC Photo Competition – themed EPIC Outcomes – was won by Damien McNamara of SouthRoads in Oamaru. For his photo essay Damien has won a @zenergynz petrol voucher to the value of $300 and a diecast Volvo A60 dumptruck donated by @transdieselltd⁣
⁣
Damien documented the restoration of SH83 between 5 and 8 Jan after floods washed away one end of the Parsons Creek Bridge and rendered the main route between Oamaru and Omarama impassable. ⛈⛈⁣
