[R1] Early ReGens! | 2014 OTIS Gen2 MRLs @ 2 Market Lane, Wellington CBD

And let's round up this spontaneous trio of "Gen2s before Christmas" with these oddballs. One of few examples of Gen2s installed during the transition between concave & STEP, the 2014 building completion date should therefore come as no surprise. Although I'd be very surprised if these didn't have the ReGen drive, as a couple of Gen2s installed 1–2 years earlier were already using it before they switched to the "ReGen fixtures". Nevertheless, these are definitely the nicest of the 3 Gen2s I have placed back-to-back — they're the most modern, they run nicely, and they also have a voice! I just wish these OTOR units weren't always so quiet… Upstairs, despite the TradeMe office being closed, they were still playing music, and the song they were playing I just so happen to associate with a certain red, one-eyed alien from The Warehouse now....
