Skukuza (Selati) Station

[John Ashworth]

maybe one day she will be the only one of her kind

Hopefully not the only one of her kind, Derek, as FOTR will do everything possible to prevent 3664 ever seeing a cutter's torch. Even if she reaches a point where it is no longer economically feasible to repair her, we would certainly keep her as a static display.

I have, after pondering over this for more than a year!, finally completed an "under construction" entry for "Skukuza" on the "old STEAM LOCOMOTIVES in South Africa" blog. Perhaps I was prompted to complete this entry by Kevin's unusual picture of no 3638 under the roof in the Selati "station". Great use of the telephoto compression effect!

The above mentioned blog entry has photos of the "Skukuza" locomotive dating back as far as 1978, and shows the locomotive shunted around in 4 different locations over the years.

If you are interested, Google for "old STEAM LOCOMOTIVES in South Africa" or go directly to:

Thanks, Piet. There are some great photos and interesting information on your website. And welcome to the FOTR forum - I believe this is your first post. We look forward to many more.
