    The Whistle on the lead loco on the doubleheader is absolutely beautiful! Class 24 3655 down here in Cape Town desperately needs something like that.

    Great camera work and excellent planning and your hard work is appreciated. I love to watch SAR steam at work. The runs across the Karoo are really a great show of some very powerful steam locomotives at work.

    Okay. Glad to hear that she is still there. I heard rumors of her being scrapped. I hope that's not the case.
