Update on Retirement of the English Electric Fleet
1.
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to update the board on the progress of the retirement of the
English Electric Fleet, and seek agreement on recommendations to the Economic Wellbeing
Committee on the final disposal plan.
2.
Progress to date
Over the last 3 – 4 months GW officers have been negotiating with numerous prospective
buyers the sale of the English Electric fleet. An evaluation of the scrap value of a 2 car unit
has also been carried out in order to provide a benchmark for the asking price of the vehicles.
The scrap value has been set at approximately $27K. The following is a summary of what
has been achieved to date:
-  donated a car to the Fire Service
-  donated a car to the New Zealand Defence Force – bomb disposal group
-  obtained $10,000 for a number of inventory items from Ferrymead
-  sold two 2-car English Electric units  to two private individuals  for a total of
approximately $55K (inclusive of GST)
-  written down nearly $1m worth of inventory to $30,000, awaiting scraping
-  negotiated a prospective sale of 20 cars to Africa, along with a substantial amount of
the inventory, however  this  deal  has  recently fallen through  with the death of the
Ghanaian president
-  maintained  29 cars still in storage at Hutt Workshops, costing approx $4,500 per
month (for 29 cars) and making storage for the Ganz Mavag units challenging.

3.
Next Steps
There are still two private individuals who are actively considering purchasing English
Electric units, a combined total of 3 cars.  Officers propose to hold 3 cars in reserve whilst
negotiations  continue  but if these negotiations fall through then the carriages will be
available for scraping.

The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) has expressed an interest in a second car for their
bomb disposal group. Donating 2 cars was the original intention and it is still considered
appropriate to donate to the NZDF for this purpose.
3.1
Cyclops
The Wellington Electrical Multiple Unit (EMU) Preservation Trust is in the process of being
formed, with the objective of raising sufficient money to purchase the  3  -  car unit called
Cyclops, including relocation and preservation costs. However, the timeframes required to
raise this level of funding  could be several months away  and potentially, they may never
raise the full amount. The Wellington EMU Preservation Trust has reached agreement with
the Rimutaku Incline Trust for the storage of Cyclops.
Storing Cyclops at Hutt Workshops is costing GW $466/month, and the Unit is at risk of
being vandalised. Therefore  it is considered appropriate that once the Wellington  EMU
Preservation Trust has raised sufficient funds to cover the necessary relocation costs, that
GW donate Cyclops to the Trust. This will ensure that at least one of the English Electric
units will remain in the Wellington region and be preserved for historical purposes. It will
also help free up valuable storage space at the Hutt workshops.
3.2
Phoenix
The 2-car Unit called Phoenix, which was rebuild essentially from scrap, is also considered
worth preserving for historical purposes. Currently there are two interested parties.  The
Wellington EMU Preservation Trust has indicated that if they could raise sufficient funds,
they would be interested in obtaining Phoenix as well as Cyclops.  However, their primary
focus is Cyclops  and fundraising to date would suggest that their ability to purchase the
Phoenix is unlikely. Also, there are questions over their ability to store the Pheonix in a way
which will preserve the heritage.
The National Railway Museum,  which is currently in the process of constructing storage
facilities next to Ferrymead in Christchurch, has expressed interest in preserving an English
Electric unit. As well as having the ability to store it under cover, they will have access to
Ferrymead’s electrified line which will enable the Pheonix to be operated. Unfortunately the
National Railway Museum is not in a position to purchase  the Pheonix, and will likely
struggle to cover the costs of relocation down to Christchurch.
Notwithstanding, it is considered appropriate to spend some money preserving the Pheonix
and the National Railway Museum would appear to offer the best alternative.
3.3
Remaining 20 vehicles
There are 20 further cars which need to be disposed and for which there are no prospective
buyers. The potential options for these vehicles are to either seek further buyers or scrap
them  for an estimated net revenue  of  $275K.  Informal inquiries indicate that there are
neither commercial nor private buyers ready to take possession of the English Electrics. All
enquiries from the “Trade Me” campaign have been exhausted and all “heritage” type

organisations approached. Officers are of the view that the remainder of the fleet should
now be scraped, thus saving ongoing storage costs of $155+GST per month per car plus
releasing up space for the Ganz Mavag fleet which is now being withdrawn from service.
4.
Recommendations
That the Directors:
1.  Receive the Report.
2.  Agree that officers recommend to the Economic Wellbeing Committee that they:
a.  Agree to hold three cars  in reserve whilst officers negotiate their sale to private
individuals. If the sale(s) falls through then the cars are to be scrapped.
b.  Agree to donate a second trailer car to the NZ Defence Force.
c.  Agree to commence discussions with the Wellington EMU Preservation Trust with a
view to GWRL donating them the Cyclops, along with any useful inventory, as soon
as they have sufficient funds to cover the relocation costs.
d.  Agree to commence discussions with the National Railway Museum with a view to
GWRL donating them the 2-car Phoenix, along with any useful inventory.
e.  Commence immediate scraping of the remaining 20 cars.

EOI Ganz.DOC
Hi Ian ,
I have marked up suggested changes to the EOI.
I am not sure if the Ganz Units contain asbestos ( as was the case with the EEs ) ? If they do then the agreement for sale
and purchase needs to include the following additional provision at new para m. . The EOI should also refer to
the asbestos ( if relevant)
  The Purchaser acknowledges that the Vehicle may contain asbestos, and agrees that the responsibility for and all
risk associated with the asbestos shall transfer to the Purchaser from the Vehicle Transfer Date.
Let me know if there is any aspect that you need to discuss.
Regards

KiwiRail Towing Service Agreement - GWRC 290512.doc
Gents,
The 2-car English Electric Phoenix (DM216 and D2687) is currently located at Woburn Hutt Workshops, and we would
like to move it to Christchurch, as New Zealand Railway Museum is taking ownership of this historic vehicle, but due to
short term space constraints on the Ferrymead site, it will be first stored in a earthquake damaged KiwIRail workshop
near Wilson's Road.
Can you please prepare a hook and tow agreement for the movement of Phoenix to Christchurch, the Hook and Tow
agreement will be signed by NZ Railway Museum, as they will hold the necessary insurance.
I assume the cost will be similar to the cost of transporting Ferrymead to Christchurch, which was quoted at $6,000 (See
attached).
From our perspective the vehicle can be moved as soon as everything is in order (i.e. hook and tow agreement signed,
and vehicle inspection undertaken).

RE: Phoenix Move & Storage at Linwood/Waltham?
Thanks Blake
One important requirement is that the carriages be equipped with appropriate tiedowns for carriage on IIL?
I believe thy maybe but need this confirmed as part of the inspection.
My intention is to provide H & T but will be subject to a number of conditions such as agreed storage arrangements ,
inspection costs etc etc.
Therefore any cost indication will only be the actual rail Woburn to Middleton rail yard.

Gentlemen, This issue has come to me via Barry Fryer GWRC this morning, see email trail below. I am
endeavouring to get to the bottom of it:
SUMMARY
1. I have been advised by KiwiRail there is no room at Linwood or Waltham for this vehicle so it will have
to go straight to NZ Railway Museum.
2. The vehicle needs to be checked and signed off by Derek Case before it travels. There will be costs
associated with this. Derek Case/Leon Bennett
3. It could most likely go next week but the check needs to be completed first.
1

4. A hook and tow agreement needs to be signed. Chris Paice/Keith Holdsworth/GWRC..
5. The cost of the checks and transport needs to be finalised. Keith Holdsworth/Derek Case/Chris Paice.
6. The costs needs to be paid for by GWRC/NZ Rail Museum, GWRC please advise.
Before anything happens the vehicle needs to be signed off by Derek as fit to travel, I will try to provide a
timing on this later today.

Hi Chris

I am just back from leave and with Aratere out of service there is no way we can move these in the short term (this week).
I will get on to it and was aware of Troy’s concerns re risk with storage etc, this will need resolving between the parties as
we will not want to carry any risk during the storage and assuming there is space available.
Hope to get on to this tomorrow.

Blake,

I have been dealing with Troy regarding moving English Electric Phoenix to Christchurch, but I see he has
gone on leave for the rest of May, and has not provided any significant update.

GW is donating Phoenix to NZ Railway Museum which is based on the Ferrymead site in Christchurch,
however they are currently short of space on their site, but had arranged with Duncan Ness to temporarily store
Phoenix at Waltham yard.

Troy was keen to ensure that the appropriate KR management sign off had been given for the storage of
Phoenix at Waltham, and to ensure that there was a clear understanding of risk ownership while the unit was
parked there.

The NZ Railway Museum contact is s7(2)(a) ,s7(2)(a)@nzrailmuseum.com, s7(2)(a)

I am very keen to get this moving ASAP, to get it off Hutt site, and stop GW paying storage.

If you could find out where this issue is sitting and make some progress on resolving it, it would be much
appreciated. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Regards

Barry can you confirm which Building in Chch you planned to store these at, and who at KiwiRail signed this off?
I assume these will need an inspection and work before they can run?
Note the previous quote may not be adequate depending on how much work is required on the vehicles before they can
run.
Thanks

Press Release (GWRC regarding Historic Railway Units)
After a life of over 60 years moving Wel ington commuters some of the English Electric which were withdrawn
during 2012 are set to move to new homes. Greater Wellington Regional Council (the units owners) are please
to confirm that the 2 remaining red celebrity units DM556 “Cyclops” and DM216 “Phoenix” along with related
trailers have been secured by preservation groups.
DM556 “Cyclops” has been secured by the Wel ington Heritage Multiple Unit Preservation Trust and wil be
based at the Rimutaka Incline Railway Heritage Trust site at Maymorn Upper Hutt. Plans include returning the
unit to Mainline Certification enabling it to return to operation.
DM216 “Phoenix” is bound for the National Railway Museum Project taking place alongside the Ferrymead
Railway at The Ferrymead Historic Park Christchurch. DM216 got the name “Phoenix” after the unit was
rebuilt from parts and withdrawn units by Hutt Workshops in 2008 rising from the ashes like the mythical bird
of the same name.
