Not from a car show. This belonged to a former neighbor and I shot it at his house.

'Twister', a supercharged street legal T-Bucket, starts its high-speed run on the race track at Santa Pod Raceway on 19th September 2020.
Im not going to lie... 7282 is hands down my favorite loco - she is an absolute rocket-ship!
Sure... the EF class electrics are nothing short of superb, and yes, I have many fond memories yahooing milk trains through the Taranaki badlands with our GE C30-7 varients on the point... but nothing hits quite like sending 7282 full cry through the suburbs at max line speed while doing my best to keep scheduled time!
I have had the pleasure of driving 7282 all week this week hauling the Palmerston North to Wellington regional passenger train, the "Capital Connection", and she has performed flawlessly.
7282 is also the same loco that I spent 99% of my time driving while training for my passenger certification, and is the same loco that I completed my passenger ticket "sign off" runs in, so there is also a certain level of sentiment there too..
We have several DFB class locos in our region, but IMHO - 7282 is unquestionably the best of the fleet!
I wont bore you all with the details of how good she rides, how responsive her throttle is or how well her brake gear reacts - you will just have to trust me on that...
My hotrod...
Today's story and sketch by me #1407, is about the Blue Dimension Dust Devil, that moments ago came out of the sky, twisting and making a mysterious whirring noise, then it came momentarily to this spot, and spit out a Zombie youth on a bike, and two pumpkin patch Scarecrows, and as quickly as it appeared, it spun into the sky and disappeared. Just why this Zombie Youth, was picked up somewhere in some Dimension, in some far away Galaxy, then put here on our Tropical Volcanic Planet we call Budahunga, will have to be an interesting story for another time, until then Tata the Rod Blog.
