Midmar Dining Car at Rutenga/Century City??

Post by Kevin Wilson-Smith »

Carlos Vieira, durban88 [cvieira3@hotmail.com]:

I have a query that I have been trying to find an answer for a long
time and I hope any of you may be able to give me an answer, which I
would be extremely grateful.

I am not familiar with the 2 foot gauge yet there is a coach that
has caught my eye.

She was the last dining car "Etirio" ? which ended her days as a V
type van down in Natal.
I have an old article with an interior picture with a lady that
looks more train sick ---and I remember reading that this coach with
others from Midmar and some locos went down to Ratanga/Century city.

I have made enquires with them which resulted in nothing.

I pressume that this coach might still be around as a whole unit (if
so, where?) and not as firewood for use at your nearest local
sheeben for next Fridays Braai.

Can anybody help?
