Created by DC 4260 Productions
The Hospital Link is the bus service that operates from Tauranga Hospital to Bayfair, returning on the clockwise loop round Mount Maunganui. HL is unique in that it is the only BayHopper route that does not start or terminate at the central Willow Street b...

BayHopper Coach (Route 40)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
Three coaches were made for the upgraded BayHopper DX to haul. The destination display on this first coach is from Route 40, which is the bus service that runs from the Tauranga CBD to Welcome Bay; with the latter's residents still upset over their lack of...
Auckland Transport Class 150 (Coach 2)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
If you have a livery request for me, you may leave it in the comments. However, I will only accept your request if I like the idea. And another thing, you MUST word it as a question, preferably without the word 'please' as I find it a bit cringe-worthy. On...
BayHopper Coach (Route 70)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
The destination display on this coach represents Route 70. This is a peak-hours only bus service that operates from the Tauranga CBD to Matua. The current version of 70 takes the more direct route via Ngatai Road. Prior to the December 2018 'upgrade' of th...

Brookfield & Greerton Class 150 (Coach 2)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
There are minimal differences between this and Coach 1. First of all, this one has the individual carriage number 52278 instead of 57278. The unit number is 150278, and I'm following the same i.c.n. pattern as the real Class 150's. Secondly, this one had a...
Cadbury Boxcar
Created by DC 4260 Productions
Cadbury is a chocolate brand that is very well-known in New Zealand. As far as I know, it's pretty much our equivalent to Hersheys, which is popular in the USA. It's a bit like how The Warehouse is NZ's answer to Walmart....
Urban Dance Wagon

DXC 5270 (Revised)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
This is the second update on my DXC 5270 reskin. For some reason, 5270 is the default number for all the default DX, DSJ, NR and F7A/F7B liveries. This reskin is an attempt to replicate the real DXC 5270 as she looks today. The only major change with this ...
DXC 5520 (Revised)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
In real-life DXC 5520 used to be DX 5045, but was rebuilt as 5520 after an accident in 2002. When 5520 was repainted in the KiwiRail livery in 2010, the painters mistakenly did the red and grey the wrong way round, but only on the ride-hand-side of the loc...
Flying Tomato DSG 3061
Created by DC 4260 Productions
Flying Tomato is an unusual variant on the traditional International Orange livery. This version doesn't have grey paint on the roof and cab-sides. Instead, those areas are red. It existed for around 8 years in the late 1980's and 90's. Based on my researc...
Tranz Rail Blue V8

Fresh Choice Wagon
Created by DC 4260 Productions

GVR Mainline Coach
Created by DC 4260 Productions

Goldfields Railway DSG 3059
Created by DC 4260 Productions

Goldfields Railway DSG 3196
Created by DC 4260 Productions
(This is the last of the engines in my planned Goldfields series. This one is specifically based on the red livery carried by DSA 551, which is the only ex-NZR locomotive on the Goldfields Railway). DSA 551 was built by the Hunslet Engine Company of Leeds ...
Goldfields Railway Open Wagon (Long)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
This wagon is specifically based on an open-air coach at the Goldfields Railway. There's actually quite a few heritage railways in New Zealand using this type of coach, with the Glenbrook Vintage Railway also being on that list. Basically an open-air coach...
Goldfields Railway Open Wagon (Short)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
On the Goldfields Railway, one of their rolling stock items is a little unusual. Said unusual item is UG 79, a wagon that is now an open-air type solely used to carry bikes. Cyclists often come to Waihi to ride the train, and the presence of UG 79 allows t...
Goldfields Railway Pullman Heavyweight (Observation Coach)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
Here is the 2nd of two Goldfields coaches I've made. This one is the best alternative to car-van AL 1759 that I could think of. AL 1759 is one of the coaches based in Waihi. The term 'car-van' is pretty much what we say in New Zealand instead of 'brake-coa...
Goldfields Railway Pullman Heavyweight (Sleeper Coach)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
There are around five coaches at the Goldfields Railway, but this re-skin is only based on one specific Goldfields coach. Said coach is AA 1678, which was built by NZR's Otahuhu Workshops in 1930. By 1970, the coach had been retired, and was on display at ...
Tranz Metro Side Rod
Created by DC 4260 Productions
Tranz Metro was a division of KiwiRail, and ran the commuter rail services in Wellington until 2016. Now the services are operated by Transdev. Incidentally Tranz Metro was not created under KiwiRail; it was the brand of suburban services in Auckland as we...
Tranz Rail Black DSG 3020
Created by DC 4260 Productions
DSG 3020 was built by Toshiba in 1981, entering service in March of that year. The engine was first used to shunt in Wellington, and was first painted in the Fruit Salad livery. It wasn't until the late 1990's when the class was fitted with shunter's refug...
Tranz Rail Black DSG 3114
Created by DC 4260 Productions
This re-skin depicts how the real DSG 3114 looked in the early 2000's. Back then she was painted in Tranz Rail black without the TR lettering, but a yellow/black version of the Tranz Rail logo on the cab side instead. DSG 3114 was built by Toshiba in 1982,...
International Orange DSJ 4032 (Revised)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
This reskin is an attempt to replicate how DSJ 4032 looked in 1988. DSJ 4032 was the third engine in a class of just five. She was built by Toshiba in 1985, but assembled at Addington Workshops in Christchurch. Only the first DSJ was assembled in Japan. Or...

International Orange Side Rod
Created by DC 4260 Productions
Here is my idea of how the Hitach Side Rod locomotive would look if it ran in New Zealand in the 1980's. It is NOT intended to be a direct copy of the first NZR Side Rod, which was made by Franks/Gaugepunk himself. International Orange - despite its name -...
Cadbury Crunchie Tour KA 945
Created by DC 4260 Productions
Back in 1993, one of the preserved KA’s was used as the motive power for a nationwide train tour to promote the famous Cadbury Crunchie Bar. That engine was KA 945, an engine that was built in 1939. The tour visited just about every part of the New Zealand...
Kingston Flyer Coach
Created by DC 4260 Productions
This is a coach i made to go with my AB 778 reskin. The livery is based on the one that is worn by the real-life Kingston Flyer coaches....
Coca Cola Wagon (ZH 404)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
(No. 1 of the Coke trilogy) I got the idea to make this - and the two Coke locomotives - after seeing a Coca Cola truck making a delivery to my local supermarket (which is a Countdown). This was after I saw three freight trains. Back in the 1990's, New Zea...
KiwiRail (ex-Toll Rail) DSG 3046
Created by DC 4260 Productions
DSG 3046 was built in 1981 by the Japanese company Toshiba. 3046 entered service in March 1981, and was one of the 24-strong DSG class. They are Bo-Bo centre-cab locomotives designed for shunting in medium to large yards (e.g. Mount Maunganui in Tauranga a...
KiwiRail Covered Wagon
Created by DC 4260 Productions
Based on a one-off variant of the KiwiRail livery as carried by a GT type car-carrying wagon. The GT was a class of 16 wagons built in 1988 and 1989, and were designed to carry cars. At 25.76 metres long, they were the longest wagons in the country. They c...
KiwiRail DSG 3264
Created by DC 4260 Productions
This is a very unusual variant on the KiwiRail livery, which is only carried by one locomotive in real-life. That locomotive is TR 908, and this variant of the livery has one yellow bonnet and one red bonnet, instead of one being grey. TR 908 is one of the...
KiwiRail DSJ 4045 (Revised)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
This reskin depicts DSJ 4045 as she looks today. She is one of three DSJ's in the KiwiRail livery. The DSJ is a class of shunting locomotive used in both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. They have always been interesting to me, mainly because on...
KiwiRail DXC 5039
Created by DC 4260 Productions
(This is a suitable companion for DXC 5293, as these are the only two DXC's that ever received the early version of the KiwiRail livery). DXC 5039 (or rather, what we know today as DXC 5039) was built by General Electric at their Erie, Pennsylvania factory...
KiwiRail DXC 5293
Created by DC 4260 Productions
(Based on the real DXC 5293 as she looks today). DXC 5293 was built as DX 2627 by General Electric in 1975, entering service in February 1976. As with all other DX's, this one first carried the unusual Clockwork Orange, which was never carried by any class...
KiwiRail NR 5

Here is a 2nd number for the KiwiRail NR reskin, because why the heck not?...
KiwiRail NR 117
Created by DC 4260 Productions
KiwiRail is the state-owned company that operates the rail network in New Zealand. It was created in July 2008, when the railways were re-nationalised (having spent the previous 15 years under private ownership). The KR livery consisted of yellow, grey and...
KiwiRail NR 121 (Revised)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
KiwiRail is a state-owned company that operates the rail network in New Zealand. It was created in July 2008, when the NZ Government bought the rail network back from Toll Holdings, who ran the network under the 'Toll Rail' brand from 2003 to 2008. At the ...
KiwiRail Red DSG 3155 (revised)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
This is an unusual variant of the KiwiRail livery. The only grey in the livery is on the top of the bonnet and the cab roof. In real life only one locomotive carries this version of the livery, and that's TR 920. Due to Rolling Line's current lack of a Hil...
KiwiRail Rotary Plow
Created by DC 4260 Productions
What if New Zealand had one of these snow plows? That was the logic behind this reskin. This livery is loosely based on that carried by three members of the EO class (45, 51 and 74). These engines were first built in 1968, and ran over the electrified sect...
KiwiRail Rotary Plow Tender

Because the plow would look silly without a tender....
KiwiRail Side Rod
Created by DC 4260 Productions
KiwiRail is a state-owned company that operates the rail network in New Zealand. Their reach does not include heritage railways, as those are all run by not-for-profit societies. The railways were re-nationalised in July 2008, and the KiwiRail name/company...
KiwiRail Well Wagon (Double Stack)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
The black livery on this wagon is loosely inspired by the IP and IM class container wagons used on a lot of KiwiRail services into and out of Tauranga. As for the containers, they are based on the Meditteranean Shipping Co. and Ocean Network Express compan...
KiwiRail Well Wagon (Single)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
Gone is the Ocean Network Express container, and this version just has the MSC container....
Mainline Steam DSG 3087
Created by DC 4260 Productions
This reskin is based on the blue livery carried by DSC 2759, which was based at the Mainline Steam depot in Plimmerton. In August 2020, the locomotive was sold to the Gisborne City Vintage Railway. Because Rolling Line hasn't got a DSC model, I went and ga...
MAXX Blue Berkshire
Created by DC 4260 Productions
(Here's something that is awfully silly, but I wanted to make it just for a bit of fun). MAXX blue is a New Zealand livery, but from 2004 (when it was launched) to 2015 it was a common sight only in the city of Auckland. Locomotives were painted in this li...
International Orange DX 5235
Created by DC 4260 Productions
(First of all, I have no idea why NS 8114 and 8099 are in the thumbnail). DX 5235 is probably better known for what she became during an early 2000’s rebuild, during which she was rebuilt as DXR 8022. The engine was originally built by General Electric in ...
International Orange DX 5293
Created by DC 4260 Productions
(This is another long-overdue upgrade of one of my oldest re-skins). (The real DXC 5293 is particularly significant to me, for reasons explained in the last paragraph). DXC 5293 was built as DX 2627 by General Electric in 1975, entering service in February...
MAXX Blue EMD F7A
Created by DC 4260 Productions
(Here's one that will annoy the purists) Just for the heck of it, I went and put an F7A locomotive in MAXX blue. Needlesstosay, I think it turned out quite well. The number on this reskin continues on from the DFT series. The highest numbered member of tha...
International Orange DX 5362
Created by DC 4260 Productions
If you have a livery request for me, you may leave it in the comments. However, I will only accept your request if I like the idea. I always like it when people ask me to make liveries based on engines/companies I've never heard of. And another thing, you ...
MAXX Blue EMD F7B

A suitable companion for the MAXX Blue F7A....
International Orange GP9B
Created by DC 4260 Productions
(Requires the GP9B Template by Valkyrie Lead). For whatever reason I got the idea to paint the GP9B in International Orange too. As with the GP9RM, this one carries the number of a real-life locomotive. GP9B No. 303B was built for the Union Pacific Railroa...
MAXX Blue Rotary Snow Plow
Created by DC 4260 Productions
This is a rather silly idea, especially given that New Zealand doesn't have any of these snow plows in real-life. As far as I know, Auckland never really gets massive snow-falls, and neither does Tauranga for that matter. Information on what exactly MAXX B...
MAXX Blue Side Rod
Created by DC 4260 Productions
(With thanks to W4RZ for making the first MAXX Side Rod, and allowing me to make my own version). (I'm slowly running out of ideas for liveries. So if you have any, please leave them in the comments. However, if you do not ASK for a livery, and instead say...
International Orange GP9RM
Created by DC 4260 Productions

MAXX Pullman Heavyweight Coach
Created by DC 4260 Productions
The livery on this coach (and its accompanying Observation Coach) is inspired by the SA and SD passenger coaches. The SA stock is actually a fleet of heavily-rebuilt ex-British Rail Mk2 coaches. They were shipped to New Zealand in the late 1990's, and - fo...
International Orange TR 367
Created by DC 4260 Productions
This is my first successful attempt at making a QuickMod livery. It requires the template by Jotrain Gamer in order to function. Said template is on Steam Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2259854965 TR 367 is a special locom...
MAXX Pullman Heavyweight Observation Coach
Created by DC 4260 Productions
This is the closest I could get to replicating the SD cab-car in Rolling Line. The SD was a passenger coach used on the Auckland suburban rail network from 2005 to 2015. Its accompanying SA coaches had first entered service in 2004. Like the SA's, the 23-s...

Midland Red Class 150 (Coach 1)
Created by DC 4260 Productions
(Based primarily on the old English Electric DM / D class electric multiple units as they looked from the 1950's and into the 1980's. A select few red units remained in Midland Red into the 21st century. One particularly significant example is the 3-car 'C...
KA 971's Tender

New Plymouth Wagon
Created by DC 4260 Productions
This boxcar displays 10 photographs taken in the city of New Plymouth, which lies on the west coast of New Zealand's North Island. It is around 4 hours drive from Tauranga, and is a very important place to me and my parents. In my case it's because my Nana...
New World Wagon
Created by DC 4260 Productions
Inspired by those big New World trucks that you often see on New Zealand's roads. New World is one of the three major supermarket chains in this country. Like Pak N Save, it's owned by a company called Foodstuffs. As with the other supermarket chains, New ...
Katalla
Created by DC 4260 Productions
As with nearly all my custom characters, Katalla is an AB class 4-6-2 from New Zealand. Her number is 798, and she is the sister engine to AB 786, better known as Charlotte. Charlotte and Katalla are inseparable, and loved to haul their own set of Pullman ...

Here is a reskin based on four members of the DSC class. Or rather, a livery carried by four DSC's. These were 2652, 2665, 2680 and 2693. This livery is basically the same as the standard NZ Rail red, albeit with yellow and black stripes on each end. The n...

KiwiRail DXC 5539
Created by DC 4260 Productions
For whatever reason I decided to make a fictional member of the DX class. In real life the highest numbered DX used to be 5517 (not counting DXR's 8007 and 8022), but 5045 ended up being renumbered as DXC 5520 in the early 2000's. As such, 5520 is now the ...

I think this is probably the most basic livery I will ever make for the Brazilian curved-roof boxcar model. This one is based on the many white frozen meat wagons that were used by New Zealand Railways back in the 1950's and 1960's. The specific basis for ...
