Thames (NZ): Train visit c1990

What treasures have you got hidden in your photo album, regarding Thames events. Does anyone have any of the 1967 or 1973 Centennial parades?

Below are photos of the time that Ja 1250 came to Thames as part of a rail enthusiasts trip. Would love to know the full details... (see bottom page for update)

 

 In the THAMES LINE 1898-1990, page 40 has SATURDAY 3 March 1990, Railway Enthusiasts Society Steam Excursion to Thames, hauled by JA1250. Went from Auckland-Hamilton-Morrinsville-Paeroa-Thames and back.
