45669 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Evening All, Back in 1972, I went on a three week tour of South Africa and Mozambique, both countries being a Mecca for steam starved Brits! Now, nearly 50 years later, I have started putting a few photos from that trip on YouTube and if anyone would like to see them, here's the link; I hope they're of interest: TTFN, Ron. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

45669 Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 Afternoon All, I have been putting some more photos from my trip to southern Africa in 1972 on my YouTube channel if anyone would like to have a look. The latest one isn't in South Africa though, because we made a detour to see trains in Swaziland and Moçambique; what we saw there was wonderous to behold: Take a look; I'm sure you wont be disappointed! TTFN, Ron. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 That Canadian built 4-8-2 is a bobby dazzler alright. Montreal Locomotive Works number 76126 built in 1948, so she's a classic late-steam era North American design. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achil Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Love the 7, the 8D and the 10C. Rarely photographed beasts. Absolutely superb pictures. Did you catch the last of the 6Js by any chance? The Swaziland stuff is now very rare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
