Of course Oliver Bullieds' first
Pacific's for the Southern Railway
were named after Merchant Shipping
Companies
He would almost certainly have
traveled to England on an NZS Co
ship as indeed would have Keith Park
The Passenger ships were the Rangitiki
Rangitani and Rangitoto. Needless to
say we simply called them the Rangi
Boats. I think Bullied had a soft
spot for we marine engineers.
He would almost certainly
have visited the engine
room on his journey
over. We called
those the
Mechanical
Gardens and sometimes
Doxford Hall after the main engines
that powered many of the New Zealand Shipping
Company ships
