The 5th volume of steam in South Africa in 1991. Special events include GO on test run from Krugersdorp and 16E 857 on a freight from Kimberley to Bloemfontein.
Thoroughly enjoyable - sight and sound. Thank you for also capturnig the trains behind the locomotive - so easily overlooked. Great raw material for modelling inspiration - thank you again!
So much magnificent footage of South African steam in your excellent videos. You certainly must have spent hundreds of hours getting all this very fine footage which looks awesome on my big TV. I lived in South Africa in 1984 and I remember seeing several steam engines at Germiston when we took a return train trip to Durban from Jo'burg but unfortunately I didn't realise that there was still so much steam around the country during my time there as I wasn't a train buff like now.
Thank you Simon. It's great to see this footage. I worked at Millsite in those years, so I remember those trips. I remember hearing your name mentioned by Don Pretoruis one time. He raved about your videos, and I agree. The footage is exceptional with great sound quality. I could watch for hours!
