Impressive looking loco! I suppose this was used on main lines. When was she built and when retired?

I've had a look at the website and it has some interesting pictures. I'm on a slow wireless link in southern Sudan so I didn't get a chance to look at everything, but there's quite a variety.

Chris and Kevin, it has diesels! Marc, there's even at least one electric - and an interesting looking beast at that!

Richard, thanks for adding our FOTR link to your website. I see you've got our old address (http://www.friendsoftherail.co.za) instead of the new one (http://www.friendsoftherail.com). The old one redirects to the new one (or at least it's supposed to - it refused for me today for some reason). Maybe you could correct it when you get the chance?

Thank you for the updates, Richard. That sure is an impressive and great-looking loco!
The FOTR website's local .co.za address is working fine and does correctly redirect to the .com address. But since the main website and this forum is located in the .com domain it is probably better to use that one.
Richard, thank you for keeping in touch with us. Love to see you in SA one day!
