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

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!

The smokebox is definitely looking better and some life is returning to the plinthed SANRASM loco at Hermanstad.
