I had threatened to post some of these (still to recover some more after my major system crash)
All metre gauge
5813 (4-8-4+4-8-4) at Kibera circa 1970 - it needs some deep clensing!(John Echlin photo)
"Miles and miles of bloody africa" 5933 (4-8-2+2-8-4) 89000lbs TE (John Echlin)
Not sure exactly where this is - 59 class on a freight - definitely between Nairobi and Mombasa as 59's didn't generally run further inland.(John Echlin)
