File comment: The start of getting the old SANRASM class 24, now plinthed at the FOTR site in Hermanstad, painted and prepped so that curious passengers can have a look see as to what goes on in the smokebox end. Further labelling and painting of the various parts is still to take place

File comment: Closer view of the smokebox workings. The branch steam pipes and other, soon to be labelled bits, will open up the curious minds of those who crave for knowledge!
