WELCOME

In this technological and impersonal era we wish you a word of hearty welcome to your own magazine! One problem of a single editor is: Not what to publish? BUT WHAT TO LEAVE OUT! The only objective of this magazine is to make our viewers happy; we all have become “viewers” and not so more “readers or writers” in the true sense of the word! We are too busy, we just want to look and move on! Our aim is to “save” and to “record” and to spread your contributions around! History is like manure, if you spread it around, it makes things grow and that growth is your contribution for posterity. CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR Met die naderende feesgety word u almal ŉ geseënde Kersfees en Voorspoedige Nuwe Jaar toegebid. We wish you a happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. Also to all our friends all over the globe, in the Southern Hemisphere where is “lekker” hot and to our friends in the i e old “snow white” Northern Hemisphere, may you all e lessed! We know some miss “Sunny South Afri a” and due to various reasons live all over the globe. Even I have family in Scotland, Canada, Texas and Australia, so I know what the feeling is during Christmas time when everybody wants to be together! 5

Bruno Martin: Australia Request for images with a Christmas theme Dear Hennie I sear hed through my ‘ar hives’ and ame up with these images I had scanned from slides it is – that’s if my memory serves me orre tly – one of the “The Annual Christmas Braai Spe ial” run y the Natal Bran h of the RSSA. Looking through the back copies of my Natal Newsletters it would set the date to 1 December 1984, the location Eston Station on the Umlaas Road - Mid Illovo narrow gauge line. The attached images show Father Christmas who was actually on the footplate when the train stopped at Eston! I recall it being a rather damp day, so I needed to apply a it of “ olour enhan ing” to the images. I don’t know the names of the people appearing in the images – members of the RSSA Natal branch and their families - so I hope they don’t mind me posting them on your e-mag. Sadly, this was the last time that the RSSA was able to hold this function on that line, for it was closed at the end of February 1985. Kind regards Bruno

WEPENERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PERAMBULATIONS 20141118 Hi guys. Southbound at Bloemfontein.

Hennenman

the

rain,

fuel

and

mielies

bound

for

Harmony Surface Rail at the exchange yard with Grindrod at the old Showgrounds. Between Kalkvlakte and Virginia, beer trucks and fuel for BFX, first time I see a white beer truck?? Just before the Sand River bridge at Virginia, southbound mielies and cement, same spot, northbound empty fuel tankers heading to Gunhill. After this train a white rail trolley bound for Bethlehem was following, did not feel like waiting for a trolley...

Cheers. J & J.

20141120 Hi guys.

We got the train again just out of Odendaalsrus at the beginning of the climb up to Friedesheim - the driver making gestures that we should help push from behind to get the train over the gradient. By the time we approached Friedesheim the train was travelling at walking pace but the single diesel soldiered on and brought the train into Welkom where it pulled into a loop. The fitters were on their way and arrived much later and said they could do nothing. So the train was staged in Welkom and was still standing here this morning. Also two shots of Grindrod passing through Welkom station with the ore haulage. There was a huge crane busy lifting two motor coaches of the ex-Kiwi metros off their bogies - why I don't know, will find out. Probably to do with the traction motors ?? Cheers. J & J.

20141120 (1) Hi guys. At Friedesheim we got the return working of the Bothaville pick-up. Pushing back from the timber siding, the cattle waiting for the train to pass before they crossed the line. Then the train pulled onto the main line and pushed back to pick up the assistant. Grindrod was waiting in the exchange yard with a load of waste from Freddies 5 shaft.

Then I got a call from my driver mate. He was on his way back from Wesselsbron / Losdorings with a block load of Kroonstad bound mielies. He told me he was going to stop at Allanridge due the second 34 Brightstar giving problems. The first pic is approaching Allanridge. Just behind the diesels Skoonspruit silos can be seen in the distance. (Well at least when they moved away !!). Then at Allanridge we hopped onto the second diesel to reset a fuel pump failure, I was also told that one of the rear bogies' traction motors was in the process of falling off and that the loco is a total failure - but he was going to try and make it to Welkom. So we left and he told us that he doubted it if he would get over the gradient at Phakisa race way, just before Friedesheim.

Slowly in the distance we could see the train crawling along, picking up speed on the down hills and almost stopping going up the gradients. Cheers. J & J.

20141122 Hi guys. A sign of things to come - heading north between Virginia station and the Sand river bridge, 2x 18E's on the containers. I have said it before and will say it again, I am going to miss the 6E/1's when they are gone, the 18E's don't sound like screaming Suzie's anymore... And after a while it is going to get boring to see one type of unit in one livery on all the TFR trains - well, until they get dirty and get some "character" !!

Then, today, the same train, just before Virginia and 2x SAR 6E's up front and the characteristic sound. The other two units were brought back from BFX after one of them developed traction motor problems and tripped the power and failed. They actually spoil the shot of what could possibly be the last time 2x SAR liveried units work together...

While the containers were disappearing the Welgelee pick-up's diesel came past. Then at Virginia station we found the container train stopped. The reason for this being that the Telemeter had failed and they were waiting for a spare one to be brought from Kroonstad. She left a couple of hours late. Finally a southbound working with more vintage electrics !! The last couple of trucks look like scrap headed for the torches at Bloem, even an "O" truck. Cheers. J & J.

SOUL OF A RAILWAY [SOAR] Just to let you know that Les's latest chapter, with a big contribution from Peter Micenko, has just been posted: https://sites.google.com/site/soulorailway/home/system-7-1/natalspruit-tovereeniging-3 This is Part 3 of southwards from Germiston, the final chapter dealing with the OFS mainline from the Reef and features the changeover from steam (and diesel) to electric traction in 1959, with many photos depicting the electric workings but also, more than a smattering of steam, which amazingly continued to work under the wires as far as Leeuhof for another 20 years after the juice was switched on. Also depicted are the brief but spectacular shows by Germiston engines on the Amatola the East London express - in 1989/90. A fine section of this chapter is that by Peter Micenko that deals with workings around Vereeniging/Leeuhof and also the cross-country steam-worked route from Grootvlei (& Balfour North) to Redan (&Leeuhof).

As usual your comments, criticisms and corrections will be gratefully received: please send them directly to Les at a31mazoe@optusnet.com.au May I close with an appeal: we are about to post the next chapter, dealing with what was the busiest freight line on SAR for almost its entire existence. Les has unearthed some wonderful old photos of the steam workings (which ceased in 1959) but they are rather swamped by electrics. If any of you have photos of the steam days on this line and would be prepared to allow them to be used on SoAR they would be very very welcome. With our usual thanks to Bruno Martin for his maps that contribute so much to the understanding of the history of these lines, and to Andrew Deacon for editing our website. Also, a reminder that the main index here: https://sites.google.com/site/soulorailway/

LIVERY: ORANGE EXPRESS / ORANJE SNEL Dear Oom Les Could you help me with a photo in colour of the "old" Orange Express, please? I want to have a model painted - was it chocolate? And cream? - Cream from the windows up to the gutters of the silver painted roof? Thanks very much

Dear Hennie, I have attached three black & white SAR photos of the original Orange Express to show you how the livery was applied to the coaches. I have also sent you four photos of my models of coaches on the Orange Express in colour. PLEASE NOTE that three of the photos show the A-28/AA-29 Dining car KEISKAMA that was one of three in use on that train and where the Indian Red colour is a little on the light side on my models. The real "Indian Red" was slightly darker. The fourth photo shows a C-22 articulated saloon that reflects the true "Port Wine" colour that was applied to this train. It is shown just above my Blue Train models in my display case. If you look closely at the three Black & White photos of the real train, you will notice a dark strip between the cream and the silver roof. This strip was also Indian Red but on my small HO models I left it off because it was unnecessary to go to such fine detail on the model's paintwork. On a larger scale model I would fit the red beading strip.

When the Orange Express first went into service after the 1947 Royal Tour, the dark brown and cream livery was initially retained just very briefly. The coaches were placed in Bloemfontein Mechanical Shops for repainting in the Indian Red and Cream livery which can be regarded as the livery of the original train. The dark brown and cream period was very brief. I have never seen original photos of the real train in colour. All my photos of that train were taken with black & white film. I hope that the above will be of use to you. Groetnis

Hello again Hennie, I forgot to mention that the chocolate brown and cream livery was used for the 1947 Pilot Train and after that tour, some of the C-22 saloons were taken directly into Orange Express service - hence the early but brief use of the choc brown and cream livery. As I said earlier, the coaches were put through the Paint Shop in Bloemfontein to change the chocolate brown to Indian Red. Cheers Oom Les Dear Oom Les, Thank you very much. As a boy I grew up in Durban. I first went to Stella Park Primary School and then to Port Natal; the first Afrikaans Primary School in Durban. The schools were along Umbilo Rd. After school the bus would travel along Umbilo Rd and once it passed Umbilo Railway Station and Blue Ribbon Flour, the bus went with a bridge over to South Coast Rd along the railway line past Rossburg Railway Station. I loved to watch trains, the green fireless engine shunting at the Escom Power station opp. Umbilo station and the various trains going out or into town. It was there that I fell in love with the Orange Express; all the passenger coaches were in various shades of varnished teak to dark rown. Well itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s een quite I long time and I still love her ... that is my wife and the Orange Express. In about 1961 all passenger trains were changed to the popular Dove Grey and Indian Red â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in various shades and more or less took the livery of the Orange Express. Thanks for sharing your photos with us.

Philmar du Plessis Hoop daai 7Es het geen air of panto’s is vas gebind, anders een groot poef as iemand daai panto lig onder DC. Leon Strydom nee wat sy sal nie eers ŉ aanduiding van krag wys nie. Bennie Matthee Philmar du Plessis daar was wel air vir remme op hom en 36. Hy is geaard en 2 fitters was saam. Ons het maar kop vas gehou onder brûe en daar waar draad laag is. Alles voorspoedig. Philmar du Plessis Al Baie 7E transformators so hulle gat gesien met DC. Bennie Matthee Philmar du Plessis ja ek verstaan ook nie hoekom hoogtes van brue gemeet word met werkende loko. Is daar dan nie ander maniere. Wat van die onkoste en risiko van soos jy se die transformator. Dan bygelas daar is nie 7wes wat ordentlik werk tussen Kimberley en Bfu. Hulle loop ŉ diens met 3 of 4. Skud maar net kop. Philmar du Plessis are terug is ŉ meet pantograaf ontwikkel deur ons Navorsings afd. Die tegnologie word nog steeds gebruik wanneer Transnet bo-Baan parameters meet en die data deur gee aan die mense wat die onderhoud moet doen. Ons ry normale spoed en die hoogte, stagger, lynspanning en ander dinge word opgeneem teenoor GPS verwysings punt. Ons het ook ŉ Infrarooikamera wat heat spots opneem. So onderhoud kan tot so akkuraat as 2 m vanaf die probleem stilhou om die nodige herstel te doen. Die tegnologie is ook aan Lennings en die ander verkoop wat onderhoud vir ons doen. Met die nuwe 20Es het ons in probleme in gehardloop want die dak toerusting is net binne die 4.1m clearance vanaf spoor. Daar is ŉ paar oor ruê op die Natalhooflyn waar die clearance net onder die 4.1m is. André Kritzinger Gaaf om haar hier te sien, maar is dit regtig nodig om 'n werkende 7E al die pad Kaaptoe te sleep net om vryhoogtes te meet? As dit net oor hoogte gaan, is daar verseker mos 'n beter en goedkoper plan. En as dit ook oor loko-lengte gaan, daar staan 'n 4E in Bellville Loko wat glad nie sal omgee om bietjie rondgesleep te word om haar wiele weer blink te kry nie... 23 November at 13:14 · Like · 2

This is clearly a kitchen/staff coach. Someone must have renumbered for some reason which I suspect was converted to a single car. Note the absence of the pantry on the right.

Philmar du Plessis Ons het dele van ons koppelaars op ons toetsrytuie geverf. Met tyd dop die verf af. Ek vermoed die stres (600 - 900 kN vir SAS-kop) en (1600 - 1900 vir ons E & F) stres dalk bietjie meer as die buigbaarheid van die verf. My nuwe rytuie het net sulke lelike geroeste E tipe koppelaars op. Ook al gesien dat die koppelaars diep "arc" merke kry in die laaste jare. Die bonding van die spore word nou vreeslik gesteel asook die bonding straps tussen bakke en bogies. Ons vind dat van die "return" stroom nou deur die bakke gaan en die koppelaar is dan die swakste geleier. Die "arc" gebeur wanneer die trein inloop en dan weer uitloop. So 10 jaar terug het hulle ons gevra om ondersoek in te stel hoekom die Trans Natal in Dur an arriveer met ongeveer ŉ derde van die koppelaar-release-kables missing is. Was ‘n aie interessante ondersoek en was die uitkoms: Die onding wat gesteel was en swak onderhoud. Ons het so 2 jaar gelede ŉ stelsel ontwikkel waar ons die stroom deur die koppelaars meet op verskillende plekke in die trein (spesifiek vir die Koollyn). Die data wat ons opneem kan ons interpreteer waar daar bonding-probleme is. Die data is opgeneem teenoor GPS punte en ons kan ook bepaal in watter rigting die stroom gevloei het. Onderhoudspanne kan dan tot binne n meter of twee gaan na die areas waar bonding probleme is. 29 November at 19:22 Comments: AFRO 4000-Locomotives: Martin Nel

Martin Nel 2 December at 08:32 81,37% van die kommentaar wat mense oor die nuwe EURO 4000 lokomotiewe van PRASA het, is erg negatief. Ek dink mense is erg oningelig of luister bloot nie. PRASA suig aan die agterspeen sedert Ramos die hele TFR oorgedoen het. Hulle het die oudste van die oudste lokomotiewe gekry en daar bestaan nie meer iets soos voorrang vir passasierstreine bo normale goedere nie, want die spore behoort aan TFR. Ek glo daar sal seer sekerlik probleme wees vorentoe, maar die 20 EURO 4000 diesel lokomotiewe sal definitief PRASA se diens op die hooflyne verbeter. Die volgende 50 EURO DUAL lokomotiewe wat deur dieselfde Spaanse firma vervaardig word, sal ook hiertoe bydra. Hierdie lokomotiewe is dieselkrag en elektries. Kan mense nie maar probeer om die positiewe dinge ook raak te sien nie. André Kritzinger, Philmar du Plessis, Japie Terblanche and 33 others like this. Deon Gouws Ek stem saam Martin

Andre Somers Maartin ek stem saam met jou. Net n paar vrae. Ek het al gehoor dat PRASA se elektriese eenhede nie juis in stand gehou word nie. Soos ons almal weet as jy jou kar nie gereeld laat diens nie dan gaan hy ook mos die een of ander tyd breek. Gaan die nuwe locos darem gediens word. N klomp mense skryf dat die nuwe eenhede ook net n rukkie skoon sal wees dan lyk hulle soos n hond se agterent. Ek is nie negatief nie glo my ek is nog al die jare trein mal maar kan PRASA nie net ten minste hulle treine was nie. Ons het vroeg die jaar vanaf Kaapstad na Johannesburg gery. Toe daai trein die stasie binnekom wou my ma nie eens inklim nie so vuil was daai trein buite. Wat se boodskap stuur dit aan oorsee se toeriste. Help my reg as ek verkeerd is met iets wat ek hier geskryf het. Martin Nel Andre, ek moet met jou saamstem. Dit gaan net vir my oor die negatiwiteit wat mense oor alles te se het. Hier is mense wat nooit ooit weer wil trein ry nie, want dit lyk nie soos in 1963 nie. Het hulle gesien hoe het party stoomlokomotiewe en ook elektries gelyk in daardie jare. Gaan ry met die trein en ek glo jy gaan 90% kere verras wees. Net nou die dag het iemand van Jhb na Kaapstad gery met SM en hier gerapporteer. Daardie trein was voor tyd in die Kaap ten spyte van klomp negatiewe kommentaar. Jy gaan 'n vuil rytuig kry en jy het dit 30 jaar gelede ook gekry. Kom ons hoop PRASA probeer hulle diens te verbeter en beter na hulle lokomotiewe kyk en ons moet hulle prys vir elke ding wat reg verloop. Pierre Viljoen Ek is gatvol vir almal met 'n negatiewe uitkyk en nie die positiewe diens /stappe/optrede van ons regering wat ons verwag wil of kan raaksien nie. Jaco Haasbroek Ek stem. Gee dit 'n paar maande na 'n jaar en kyk hoe dit dan gaan, en gee dan 'n opinie. Ek moet sê, die klomp eenhede tans in gebruik is oud, maar daar is van hulle wat nog aan die gang is. En dit is seker nie net 'n kewssie van nie in stand hou nie, ek dink net daar is nie parte vir regmaak nie. David Settle Ek bring altyd vriende van oorsee om met SA treine te ry, ons het al die lyne gedoen en nog nooit enige probleme gehad. Altyd mooi skoon binne, veilig En rustig. David Settle Ek verstaan glad nie hoekom mense altyd stres oor hoe vuil ŉ loko is nie. Dis 'n werkende masjien obviously lyk hulle nou skoon; hulle is nuut. Die belangrikste ding is Om die treindiens te loop en die binnekant van die passasierswaens skoon te hou Ferdi Jooste Ons het ou lokos in die Kaap, hulle is vuil maar pappa hulle is op hulle kop! Geen 18E kan by bly net vir Angelo en Kobus en res van die manne dankie sê!

Steve Compion Martin: Ek het 40 jaar vir Transnet gewerk. Stem saam dat dinge in die verlede ook verkeerd geloop het, maar nie so erg soos vandag nie. Oud of nuut, maar soos met die res van ons land is betroubare en aanvaarbare dienslewering die probleem. Of die soort kultuur gaan verander weet ek nie. Ek is ook dankbaar vir die goeie en veilige aspekte in die leef omgewing.. Martin Nel Steve, ek hoor jou. My motto is om te konsentreer op die positiewe en so die negatiewe te probeer omswaai, bietjie vir bietjie. Steve Compion Martin: Ek het ook nog altyd gesê, eerder deel van die oplossing as deel van die probleem. Die probleem is net almal wil nie daaraan byt nie. Groetnis.. Zayed Brown Ek kannie wag om hierdie nuwe lokomotiewe te ervaar op pad Jhb toe nie. En as hulle besluit om weer die Kaapstad PE diens inte stel dan is ek eerste om kaartjie te koop. Kannie wag nie. Philmar du Plessis Sê maar eerder niks. As hulle nie ŉ goeie egroting en positiewe kontantvloei gaan hê nie, Sal niks oornag verbeter nie. Die regering beter PA staan met subsidies as hulle verwag dat Prasa die "Burgers" moet vervoer op die voorstedelike dienste. As hulle kruis-subsidieer tussen voorstedelik en Hooflyn kan jy maar probleme verwag. Steve Compion Dankie Philmar. Feite is feite. Pierre Pieterse Goed gestel!,

And, of course, to the late Frank Holland, without whose two great volumes on the "Steam Locomotives of the South African Railways" this project would have never even happened.

As ek met die lughawepad ry sien ek nooit meer goedere treine oor die brug gaan nie - naby Thembisa na Sentra-Rand ry nie. Bill Deyzel, Chris De Vos, Japie Terblanche and 3 others like this. 96

Hendrik Sharp Hy word nog gebruik Oom maar Rangeer werk baie af geneem 16 November at 11:07 路 Unlike 路 3

Hennie Heymans Dankie Hendrik Sharp - ek het so gedink, met al die blokvragte van punt "A" na punt "B" sal Sentra-Rand later in onbruik verval omdat daar nie juis meer gewone vrag is nie. Ek glo mens kan bv 'n trok vol bakstene van Herculus na Koedoespoort stuur nie, of kan mens?

Hendrik Sharp Oom jy behoort maar dis maar moeilik as dit net trok vir trok is Vat te veel tyd en te lank Teen die tyd wat dit by jou kom wil jy nie meer bou nie

Ben Greyling Ja daai plek is n nagmerrie om goed uit te kry as dit in is 4 dae party keer

Willie Fourie Hennie ja sover ek weet word die plek nog gebruik. Ek het tot so 3 jaar gelede nog daar gewerk (sekuriteit vir Protea Coin) en toe was dit nog aan die gang. 17 November at 13:05 路 Like Sentra Rand Yard: Jaco Holtzhausen

Jaco Holtzhausen

Johann Badenhorst Sjoe dit is masief en sulke Lang paaie

Hein Engelbrecht Die ontvangs het 20 paaie die klassifikasie 64 en die 2 vertrekterreine elk 16 paaie. Was daar in Oktober maand 7 treine in en 8 treine uit vir 24 uur waar daar in die beginjare sowat 100 treine in en 100 treine uit per dag was. Die treine word ook nie eers meer geboggel nie wat 'n hartseerdag. 19 November at 22:50 路 Like 路 1 Richard Niven This is how the yard was when I flew over it in 2008!!

Hennie Heymans Richard Niven - thanks for the nice photo you shared with us! I had a sneaky feeling that SentraRand has become a white elephant. I had asked the question earlier this month: "Was Sentra Rand being used? On the way to the airport from Pretoria one always saw trains crossing the free way on to Sentr Rand - now one sees no goods trains. I think the railways are only doing "block freight". Richard Niven That is just terrible Hennie!! What has ever become of that once great railway!! Its generally the same for freight here in UK. Mainly block loads and that's about it so not much freight around. However passenger trains are by the millions. My station in Edinburgh just cannot cope anymore with the amount of passengers. I will post a few more photos of Sentrarand which I took from that plane in 2008 Anton Hitge Dit is sleg vir Sentra Rand Pieter van Rooyen En om te dink dat hierdie werf veronderstel was om slegs die eerste fase te wees...daar moes nog Sentra Rands langsaan gebou word, so was die beplanning!!!! Pierre Engelbrecht Vroer jare was daar hope algemene verkeer maar een " SLIM " wa het besluit net groot volumes van punt tot b die algemene verkeer se inkomste was glo te min. Pierre Engelbrecht Moet wees punt A tot punt B. Hennie Heymans Richard Niven - thanks very much, I would like to do an article in our electronic magazine on Sentra Rand. Hennie Heymans Richard Niven - I might be "off Topic" but on YouTube I have watched various videos about the various British Rail Co's. I have watched Edenburgh Station and its trains on various videos. I watch a lot of British & Dutch Rail Videos - sorry we don't have much to watch these days. Richard Niven Hennie, yes Edinburgh is my main station and that's where I start and finish everyday. Unfortunately we are not allowed to take photos or video while we are driving so I'm afraid I cannot post much on Youtube, sorry

Willie Engelbrecht 29 November at 09:02 Hier is ŉ aie ou pu lisiteitsprent van die SAS / SAR. Ek het so 10 jaar gelede op die presiese plek afgekom. Dis net voor Sandhills, die diep uitgrawing op die N1 voor Hexrivier-vallei , gaan deur die koppie aan die regterkant van die foto’s. Die ou pad het om die kop geloop soos hier gesien kan word.

Richard Niven Ek sê dis Oos-Transvaal maar nie seker nie. 29 November at 19:45 · Like Frikkie Gouws ek weet nie of die dubble deckers uit Jhb gery het nie. 29 November at 19:47 · Richard Niven Perhaps just for a photo for the SAR. I found this photo in Voorbaai when I was a fireman there. 29 November at 19:48 Japie Terblanche In the days of the good old Splitpin, wow! 29 November at 20:18 Willie Engelbrecht Nee Richard ek weet nie waar dit is nie. Sal probeer uitvind. 30 November at 00:38 Hennie Heymans In the 1950's, Willie Engelbrecht & Richard Niven, I can remember an incident reported in the papers about a couple of Double Deckers between Cape Town and Jhb. The crux of the story was when they came to Du Toitskloof Pass the busses were just too high to pass under an overhang. The traffic was blocked and a little boy said: "Daddy why don't they just blow the tires down a bit?" It helped! I also know that apart from Jhb, the SAR, also had double deckers. I will ask Mr Pivnic.

Hennie Heymans: Wat 'n oulike foto! Ek wil hom asb graag in ons tydskriffie gebruik, Willie Engelbrecht - dis regtig geskiedkundig - kyk net na die rytuig - ook baie geskiedkundig. Dankie dat u met ons gedeel het. 24 November at 13:51 · Like Willie Engelbrecht: Plesier Hennie, plaas dit gerus. Martin Nel: Dit lyk soos 'n klas 5, die sogenaamde " Karoos". André Kritzinger My geld is op die Klas 6Y, een van net twee 2-6-2 tipes wat hier geloop het en die ander was 'n tenkloko. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_Class_6Y_2-6-2

South African Class 6Y 2-6-2 -... EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Hennie Heymans: Dankie Willie Engelbrecht 24 November at 14:20 · André Kritzinger Gaan natuurlik ook die foto steel. Dankie, Willie. Waar kom jy aan hom? Johann Pretorius Ja ek kyk na daardie kort trokkie na die lokomotief vroeë jare het hulle dit DE trokke genoem dit was ŉ vraag y die toesighouers onderhoud, ek het hulle gesê die trok is te kort en as hy tussen lang trokke loop dan lig hulle van spoor af as daar gerem word. En met jare het hulle die trokke afgedank of in werskswinkel areas gebruik om staal afval te vervoer. Willie Engelbrecht André, die foto het ek by Jan Conradie (afgetrede treindrywer ) gekry. Martin Nel André, ek glo jy is reg. Het weer gekyk. Was nie seker oor die voorste wiele nie. Die klas 5 was 4-6-2.
