Kevin, do you or anyone else know if 9503 was an ex-Spoornet loco? There's a query about it on the East African Steam Yahoo group.

Kenya Railways had 11 Spoornet diesels on long lease - they were numbered 9501-9511 ex Spoornet 34.470-76/78-80/69 in that order.

They were in Kenya from 1994 until 2002.

All returned to South Africa and are back in service.

Thanks, John. I've passed that info on to the blokes at the East African Steam Yahoo group.
