Pictures from post-NZR service

The first two pictures are some snaps I took on a visit (1996 I think) because I figured my Dad would be interested. He was!
Pictures 3-12 show '224' at Pukeoware early in February 8th 1997 . My wife had an Aunt and Uncle living just up the road and I'd seen the crane earlier when visiting them. So this time we brought along my Dad to see the crane. It turned out to be a Railfans day and a few pics of the day can be seen on the GVR page.
Pictures 13-36 show '224' at work at Pukeoware on May 2nd, 2004 loading carriage underframes onto a truck.
